SAN FTP ANCTGl

SAN FRANCISCO, May 18th.
The excited and unsettled feeling in Wheat
that prevailed & week or so ago has wholly
disappeared, and business runs along once
more on rather quiet fashion. Shippers are
less eager for grain, while advices from dis
lant centers are not as encouraging as they
were, so that the softer feeling which exists in
local circles is easily accounted tor. The
boom in Barley has subsided-for the present.
anyhow. Dealers are apparently satisfied
that the new harvest will be all that can be
desired as regards quantity, and that famine
prices are not possible. Trade keeps OF tair
proportions all the time, while values are on
a iairly steady basis. There is no gainsaying
the fact that Oats are much better property
than they were Il short while ago. Receipts
OF late have been quite small, while the con-
sumption has kept steadily on, thus decreas-
ing stocks on hand. AS a consequence, quo
tations for choice product are much firIner
while the general market partakes of a some
what buOyant character.
The vegetable market was weak as q rule
thls morning, with heavy supplies on hand.
Asparagus sold lower. The Gamers are buy

PotatoeS are firm. onions are steady, and

There was II fair demand for fresh fruits to-
day, and prices were shaded little. The de-
mand for Citrus Fruits is light and prices are
weak.
The Butter market has received another set
back, and prices are easier, under Il falling off
In the shipping demand for the north. The
Egg market is weak and business is dull.
Cheese is easy at quotations.
There was perceptible improvement in the
demand for Poultry this morning. Receipts
were not heavy and prices were steady. In
