FARMFRS HRI n RflRKlsgg-r. mm IQ qmai iltsslii tssssisiaaassW I I W Km UIIW1I " ............ -"- a sis I I III H I I 111 I Not Interested in Presen Wheat Prices. DIFFERENCE AS TO VALUES JJculc-rs look ror.Vreer Selling Be' fore March 1 Japanese Bujiiis Needed Supplies Cheaper J a Australia. There seems to Be a difference of opinion aniung grain buyer as to the value of wheat on thla market. Some are claiming PT cents aa the current quotation on club and others consider 86 cents as full value and ara limiting- their bids ts this Brare. All this, however. Is without reckoning the farmer, w'ho Is aa Indifferent to one price as to the other, and has aimply withdrawn from the market aa a Belling factor. How long the growers will maintain this ttltufie will be determined by later devel Vproenta, It la believed by soma of the ealers that with the added storage charge a February 1 and again on March 1 and then tax time, the farmers will not be so "dT to hang on as they have been to Bate. Any considerable unloading would of course, result In lower prices being of lerea by buyers. It Is not certain, how ever, that there will be such a general selling movement. xna larmers who ar tm carrying wheat appear to be In good financial circumstances and if the market hould take an upward tilt the country Banks might encourage them to hold longer. A general weakening of the whole sltua tion, on tho other hand, would have a dlf Xerent effect. As to the current demand, it Is limited chiefly to California and the wants of lew millers here and there. Bluestem is the principal grade needed In the south. European Dusiness la out of the question, as the export basis of club Is not above 84 cents track. There Is also no chance now cf selling wheat to Japan, although that country's needs are undoubtedly great. Aus trallan sellers are underbidding the raclnc Coast and will continue to get the Orlen tal orders unless the steamship lines cut the rates sharply out of here. In hla International review of the wheat ituation Broomhal! says: "During- the past week the market has rallied, owing to a rovlval of the foreign demand, particularly from the United King dem, and this, together -with continued small Argentine offers and the lighter shipments from that center, hate served to advance export bids. Further support was the re duction in the Australian exportable sur Plus, with a noticeable lack of pressure from that country. The purchase of for , eign wheat by Continental countries shows some improvement, especially by France and the Mediterranean countries, but the de mand from Germany is poor. Tho prospect for India is generally poor, but some au thorities venture the claim that this coun try will have possibly 16.000,000 bushels for export. General prospective supplies are lib eral; the decrease In Russia this week was attributed to the holidays thero (Christmas). It Is expected that the Danublan quantities will continue liberal, but the closing of navi gation may check these. In the near fu ture It Is expected that Argentine supplies will bo large and Australian Increase, and also that there will bo no great reduction In the shipments from the big exporters of the Northern Hemisphere. Thus I expect continued liberal supplies, but there Is no Indication that growers are satisfied with present prices and willing to sell at this level." Local receipts, in cars, were reported by the Merchants Exchange as follows: Wheat Barley Flour Oats Hay Monday ..... tfl 24 17 Tuesday ..... 39 ....

Various prices are being quoted on city and country creamery butter, ranging from 60 to C2 i cents. The market is in an un settled condition. It seems to be the pur pose of most of the creameries to get the price down so aa to shut out Imported but ter. Cheese is very scarce and prices are more or less nominal. The egg market had a somewhat easier undertone. Candled stocit sold on the street ar S3 to 34 cents, and uncandled eggs were quoted at 32 to 02 4 cents. There was a sharp demand for all kinds of poultry, receipts of which were fairly large. Chickens came from points as far distant as Union. Most of the sales were around 16 cents. White docks sold at 16 to 37 cents. Dressed meats were unchanged. TRADING IN OKAXGE9 IS LARGE Fancy Apples Being Withdrawn From Stor age Vegetables Active. Front-street trade wan good yesterday, considering the unsettled weather. Receipts were light. Three or four cars of bananas are due tonight or tomorrow morning. There Is a temporary scarcity of head lettuce on the street. Bell peppers are firm and have advanced to 10 cents a pound. Trading In oranges was particularly active and prices held steady. Fancy apples are feeing withdrawn from storage and are sell ing fairly well. There Is still a consider ably quantity of cheap stock on hand. Hopgrowcrs Holding Firm. No hop sales were reported yesterday at ay point on the Coast. There was a general tightening up by growers, particularly hold ers of good goods.

Course ot Hog: Market Depends on Re ceipt Thla Week Grain-Fed Blntton Firm. The livestock market was featureless yes terday. Only one car of stocit came in. Several loads of carryover sheep and lambs were worked off, and the other Bales were of small odd lots. Commenting on the general market itu. ation tno Livestock Renorter Kr Tho market has been delUKed with beef ot an varieties, principally unfinished stuff. tor wuica tnere Is no demand. Growers are marketing their cattle without giving mem - a nrm, smooth finish, for which tho packers pay a premium. They turn them out or tne feed lots too soon. Brighter w.,..K u figni tor tne trade when de mand overtakes supply and quality is more pronounced. Since the bulk of tho butcher t-oiiia receipts was unfinished beef lh. iew cnoice ones were sold at n.t,.A. than ordinarily because of the denrossinn u uversuppiy ot poor stuff. "Trade in hogs has been hrkk -firim k. ginning to end and business broad.
