Scramble to Sell Wheat on Account of
Lower Prices in the East.
Poultry Market Fairly Active-Eggs
Plentiful-AH Descriptions of
Fruit Dull.
SAX FRANCISCO. February 18TH.

Barley is very steady, and choice feed descrip-
lions are being held for higher prices. Oats
are dull and unchanged. Choice milling
grades are scarce, and there is little demand
for lower grades. Corn is firm, and the mar
ket this morning showed that there was a
tendency to speculate. Little trading, how
ever, was done. The Poultry market, which
has been fairly active for the last few days,
still holds up well under increased demands.
All descriptions of Ducks, Chickens and Tur-
keys have been going OFF well, the principal
purchasers being the Chinese in the celebra-
ton of their New Year.
The market for game is rather poor. Ducks
are coming in only in moderate supply, but
there are plenty on hand TO fIll all demands.
The season Will close in two weeks, and game
is getting very poor.
Eggs are plentiful. and the advent of Lent,
which commenced this morning, has made no
change in prices. The demand will naturally
increase during the fasting season, but 1t is
doubtful if any marked increase in prices Will
he noted for some time. as the supplies are
sufficient TO Ill all demands.
Potatoes continue 10 arrive in good supply
and in fairly good condition. Every Port
land steamer brings a fair lot of oregon Bur
banks and the movement in them is not a
lively one. Early Rose varieties win average
q cent but good stocks that can compete with
only fair Burbanks for restaurant trade will
bring 81 05 and 81 10 per Genital
All descriptions Of fruit are dull. Oranges
ana Apples continue TO arrive in good supply,
and there are more here than the market can
stand.
