WHEAT-The market has not changed for
some time. Business has been quiet i'll move
ment. while prices have remained steady. At
the moment there is nothing in view to warrant
the presumption that matters will show any ma
terial alteration before the advent of the new
harvest. Shippers are in the market about all
the time, though they make no active canvass
For ordinary No. grade the established price
is 81 30 q ctl, and no advance on this figure is
possible except the offering be of superior
quality, when possibly 81 321a 2 ell could be OBJ
tanned as an extreme.

The London circular of Harris Bros dated
May 9th, says: Since our last We have had
dry weather. hot sun by day and sharp frost by
night till the last forty-eight hours, when the
wind has gone more south, and the glass begins
to fall Warm showery weather is wanted, as
the season SO far is not an early one. Supplies
OF homegrown Wheat have been only moderate
and of foreign small; at the same time trade
has ruled fiat influenced by sunshine and Ii
beral offerings of red Wheat from the Eastern
United States. No one seems TO care to operate
beyond immediate wants. and as long as this
feeling lasts we cannot expect any activity in
Wheat on the part of spectators, who at pres
ent augur that everything in the market points
to continued low rates"

few buyers, however. and these are not disposed
to give more than our lower quotation. while

more reduced rate Brewing qualities keep up

FRUIT Prices were generally lower this
morning, and for the next week or so the market
Is expected to shape largely in favor of consum-
ers. Cherry arrivals to-day were close upon goo
boxes coming mainly from Vacaville Ship
Inents from San Lorenzo and San Jose will likeiv
become quite free next week. Raspberries are
making a much better exhibit, and reduced
rates cause greater demand. Strawberries con-
tlnue TO hnd good CUSTOM though receipts sell to
less advantage Tor growers, because of competi-
tlon from other varieties. Currants are eniarg-
ing in supply, the shipments to-day amountine
TO lSS chests, causing tumble in values. Goose
berries sell slowly. Apricots made a marked de-
cline. because of the arrival of over 600 boxes
which was more than the market could convent
entity carry. Peaches and Cherry Plums have
made their initial appearance, but so far the re-
celpts have been nominal. Apple consignments
are quite green and find poor custom Mexican

BUTTER-The market is so overstocked as to
be cumbersome, and for the bulk of stock there
is no fixed price, dealers are generally will
ing to accept any reasonable bid. Owing to
warm weather, much of the Butter comes for
ward in poor order and soft condition Some
times box of a particular brand for which
there is special inquiry is sold at p trifie above
our rates. but as a general rule buyers can be
more than satisfied at our range of prices We
quote: Fancy, lSe; choice, 16a17c; fair TO good,
Sole = %.
cHEEsE-This article is abundantly repre-
scented at every depot, the shelves being all
crowded. Unless dairymen hold back some of
their make in future, dealers will have TO mark
prices yet lower with view of increasing the
demand. AT the moment, trade is wholly of a
retail character. California product sells from

EGGs-strictly choice ranch parcels are scarce.
and for product of this character sales are Quick
at top rates. while occasionally a cent or so adj
vance is obtained in a retail way through com
petition by buyers. Fair to good stock is slow of
movement while poor article is wholly ne
elected. MANY interior shippers have been
sending in eggs which had been held back. and
such cannot be sold for near so much nov nc II
they had been shipped in when fresh Eastern
Eggs are largely in overstock being mostly of
good quality, though selling at cost and some
times less 1t is rumored that moderately liberal
quantities are yet on the way by rail- so that the
immediate outlook is anything but promising
