OATs-Stocks on hand are comparatively large,
but dealers have no fear Of being able to work on
all supplies in due season. This morning 1t
looked as if the market were shade hrmer, not
yithstanding free offerings. News comes from
New York to the effect that the amount in store
in that city is rather light and believed TO be in
sufficient to meet the actual wants until navigation
opens Some of our local operators have probably
been posted in regard to the situation there, as
two car loads were sent forward by rail about two
weeks ago. II any great necessity should require
further shipments overland, the opportunity VIII
doubtless be appreciated by holders. Sales to-day

but lively. Most of the receipts have been sent for
ward to Eastern and foreign markets, the pur-
chasers having secured a good portion of the crop
before maturity. Over 10000 lbs was shipped by
railroad last month. We quote the market nominal
at l5@2lc . b.
PoTAToEs-The receipts from the Sacramento
river are expected to be very large in quantity
for some time, owing to the flooding of the potato
districts. Other descriptions will therefore come
into more general request. Little apprehension of
any scarcity is enter tanned. Nearly 5000 sacks
rived to-day about one half coming from Humboldt.
Buyers are not scarce, and dealers are loading up

FRUIT-The prospect of an early Strawberry crop
from the Santa Clara valley is said to be very favor
able, while the yield is expected to be much greater
than last year. The demand at present is almost
nominal, and all seasonable descriptions are
weak at our figures. We quote as follows: Ap-
pies, 30d35c d box for ordinary, and 81 25G

HoSEY-Dealers generally complain OF want of
custom Some poor and candied lots are said to
have changed hands recently at 10c D 10. Shippers
say that although Eastern markets are compare
lively higher, attendant transportation and other
expenses leave margin for profit. Still some
$4,000 lbs went forward last month by overland
railroad and about 600 cases placed aboard
vessel bound for Liverpool The outlook for the
new crop is not at the moment particularly favora-
BILE, though demand from unexpected quarter
would work change for the better. We quote:
