lower than yesterday. Green Peas move off
fairly well. The supply of Rhubarb is liberal,

Strawberries are not coming in as freely as ex-

No Cherries have yet been received, though the
initial shipment is looked for every day. Good
Oranges are scarce, and more than come 70 hand

WOOL-Is coming in more freely. AS yet no
new spring clip has been sold, simply because
there are 70 buyers The fact is, all the dealers
are afraid to undertake Wool buying, while at
the same tine they talk prices down SO low that
holders would, probably, not incline to do any
| business for the present. 1t is generally hoped
that trade will start up some time this month.
Though prices may rule low, holders do not an
ticipate such extreme low figures that Wool
shippers are at present talking. In the absence
of trading, we quote prices for new spring nomi-
nal at 1l@y14c T. ctl for san Joaquin and South
