COMMERCIAL.
DECLINE IN PRICE OF WHEAT
ON CALL.
The Spot Market Very Dull-Barley
Quiet and Easy-Oats Firmly
Held and Fairly Active.

San FRANCISCO, NOV. loeu.
Wheat on call opened at a small ad-
vance under moderate trading, but soon
fell off again and sold below last night $
closing prices. This weakness was singu-
lar in view of the fact that the Chicago
market advanced and was firmly main
tanned for most of the day. Local specu-
lative prices afterward showed more
steadiness. The local spot market was
very dull, with buyers unwilling to pay
more than 81 per Genital for NO. 1 snip
ping and s1.01A for choice do. Holders
ures Barley continued quiet and easy
for futures and spot. Receipts were sos
centals. Oats were firmly held and fairly
ing "a centals Oregon.
Receipts of Hay for the past twenty.
four hours fell off to 365 tons. The wet
cars prevents much business being done.
The market has an easy tone, except for
strictly dry Hay. Receipts OF Bran were
large amounting to $40 sacks, OF Wnlcn
market had an easier tone. Receipts OF
Middlings were 500 sacks, all from Ore
gon.
Marin County is now shipping Butter
freely, and with some houses stocks are
again accommodating, and prices are easier.
It is difficult to get over 25c per pound for
brands in a small way. Cheese is steady
at the previously quoted prices. Fancy
ranch Eggs continue to command full
prices, while lower grades are easy. There
are so few selected Eastern Eggs in the
market that they are hardly quotable.
