Wheat Business.
Barley Prices Continue Stationary
Vegetable Market Steady
Poultry Quiet.
SAN Francisco. Apru ostb

San FRANCISCO, April 2Sth.
The week has been a poor one for Wheat
business. There is talr disposition to sell, and
trade would likely be quite active if buyers
would only respond. But shipping operations
are slow and no movement OF magnitude can
be expected until there is increased demand
Barley prices have kept almost stationary for
quite while, and no marked fluctuations are
likely to occur for the remainder of the year.
Trading in feed is limited, being confined to
local jobbing wants. The inquiry for Brewing
still continues, though it is not of urgent
character, as shipping operations will in all
probability soon be curtailed. While matters
are practically unchanged, the situation i'll
Oats inclines slightly in favor OF the holding
interest Supplies have been small in amount
of late and some inroad is being made on
stocks. Buyers of a choice article have to
scan samples pretty closely to find just what
they want, as common qualities figure largely
among the offerings. Black Oats have been
receiving a little more attention lately, caus-
ing better feeling in prices
The Vegetable market was steady to-day.
The Potato market is firm at the advance,
with business rather quiets Onions hold up
well, with sales as high as 80 cents. There
were no changes elsewhere.
There is still a fair demand for good Oranges
and Lines and Lemons command good
prices. The receipts OF Strawberries were 3915
chests, and prices were lower, Sharpless self
ing straight at SO cents. Apples are in mod
crate supply. with SLOW sales.
The tone of the Butter market is firmer for
fine grades. The Egg market is steady with
supplies moderate. Cheese is unchanged.
The Poultry market is quiet with a fair de-
mand for young stock. Some good Hens
were among the lot of Eastern arrived
yesterday, and they sold readily. Hare meet
with little inquiry.
