BARLEl-Feed descriptions were hardly so
strong this morning iaSt Saturday, nothing of
choice character could be bought under 81 3715
{. ctl, but to-day there was u disposition to ae-
cept 81 30, without any prompt response on the
part of buyers. In brewing descriptions there is
no marked change to note. The demand is ac-
tive and general, and stock changes hands with
good freedom at a range of 81 i21& al 521& q ell.
Nearly 5000 cts arrived from Oregon to-day.

OAT5-In the face of large supplies and the
near approach of new crop, prices keep up
pretty well. The strength that has been for
some time shown in the Barley market has
helped the Dat situation. For feed purposes,
custom has been largely diverted to this latter
product, and even if Barley should drop in
value, it would take some little time. perhaps
before Dat quotations were materially lowered.

HOPS-The London circular OF NJ. Bruce Tate
under date of April 9Th, says: Continued dull
ness marks the course of this market. Holders,
with few exceptions, are unwillingt to accept the
very low bids made; here and there however
we hear of a sale or two being effected, at a
most ruinous sacrifice. On the whole prices are
very irregular; while one man will take sos, los
or 50s, as the case may be, another cannot ac-
cept within los to 15s for the class of goods
Many are sir"s,iy waiting for something to
turn up y neither successfully or otherwise re-
mains 10 be proved. One thing is certain, how
ever, that in making purchases at present
values little fear need be entertained of absolute
loss. To those who are in should say hold on
until after the next crops are realized; we have
more or less critical period for hops to pass
through twiXt this and then, and should adj
verse circumstances arise, very considerable
advance must ensue-while to force sales now
means selling in market more depressed than
at any period since the season commenced
Foreign markets are completely in sympathy
with this, and none but the finest hops com
mand the least attention. The local market is
quite as dull as distant centers, and stock goes
begging at 5(G7c z 10.
Observation-Disclosures was again in large
supply to-day, the receipts footing up close on to
700 boxes. Prices ruled low, and the market
would not have cleaned up even at cheap rates
had not Gamers come to the front and taken all
surplus of good quality at the uniform rate of
75c 2 box. Green Peas were easier owing to
the liberal arrivals, which aggregated about
1000 sacks. Rhubarb was also well represented,
the several consignments making total of 40
boxes Yesterday the first String Beans of the
season from the northern part OF the State were
sent by T. V. Fisher, fIom Winters, selling at
25c 4 II. We quote Asparagus, 50c@s1 .

FRUIT-Cherries made their appearance to-
day, according to promise. The arrivals were
light, being Il little over dozen boxes, selling
Well White went at S3d4, while Black brought
s. q box. Quality and condition were both good
for so early i'll the season. Choice Eastern APP
pies are scarce. Dealers are willing to shade on
prices for most OF the stock on hand, which is
generally of very poor quality. Raspberries are
only seen occasionally, and IN very small guam
titles. Strawberries do not come along as freely
as might be expected. The demand is
not quick, as values keep beyond the
means of the general class of consumers.
