| San Francisco, Feb. 14th.
| Wheat is unchanged in the sample mar
ket; futures opened higher, but fell off;
after yesterdays holiday at Chicago the
market opened with boom, but sub
sequently it declined steadily and closed
at decline of nearly &c below the day
| opening figure. Barley is firmly held; on
call, seller this year. new, advanced
sharply over yesterdays figures. Oats
are fairly active prices have not changed
I for some days; receipts have been light.
| During the past few days there has been
| no Eastern corn received; the demand is
very light, however, and there has been
no change in prices. Rye has been weak
and dull, and the market is lower.
| The hay market has been rather weak
and dull and prices have had declining
tendency; at the moment, however. re-
ceiptS are small and stocks are light, so
that with any activity the market should
do better. Bran and middlings have been
weak, but there is now better tone to
| the market.
| Stocks of apples are smaller, although
there are still plenty for all requirements;
dealers report a good market, with sales
be said of fancy oranges. There is not
much call for lemons and present prices
have prevailed for some time. The last
China steamer arrived on the 10th inst,
with about 200 boxes of Japanese oranges,
| but they have not been landed.
| The dried fruit market is firm. Apples,
1
demand. Prunes have been more quiet.
4 The market East is reported strong, with
| prices tending upward.
! During the week there was an easier
| tone to the butter market and prices took
a lower range; the high prices caused d
let-up in the demand and receipts are,
supply and quite steady. During the week
the egg market declined sharply; receipts
were liberal and consumers had things all
| their own way. A couple Of buyers were
| in the market to-day to fill a large order
for store eggs; they took everything Of
| fered at lac.
All meats have advanced sharply dur
| ing the week. The supply of all kinds
has been limited and promises to be so for
some time. California, Oregon and Wash
ington are now drawing on Nevada for
| their supplies. Still better prices are an
| ticipated all through the line.
