foAN fKANCISCO, Aarcn 2Stn.
Business was ramping in Chicago this
morning, and May Wheat took another move
upward, which intensified the interest taken
in the deal by operators all over the country.
This was, however, the only option affected,
and it did not tend to brighten the situation
that New York markets were in the dumps
with weaker feeling. The market here did
not respond very lively in wheat options in
the regular session this morning, and all that
could be said was that prices were steady. The
total sales were light, agcregating 500 tons, of
which 200 tons were May at from 81 20 10
81 261z, and 300 tons of December at
81 311s. The receipts were 4,472 centals.
The Barley market in the country was
stronger and more active. The transfers were
$500 tons, as follows: 1900 tons of Decem-
Der at from $3.50 to S955c, 100 tons OF May
at Ss1sc. and 900 Seller, 1898, at SOC. The
receipts were 6, 1926 centals. The spot Wheat
markets were weak and dull. The English
and 1oreign markets are steady and quiet.
Receipts of Poultry are liberal, but the de-
mand Is good and stock of all kinds cleans up
readily. Prices are steady. Game is dun and
lower.
In Dairy produce the Butter market con.
unues weak and sales are reported OF good
stock below quotations. Receipts are heavy
and stocks are accommodating. Eggs ARE firmer
and all kinds are active at higher prices
Cheese is steady, with liberal supplies.
There is little variety Offering n the market
for mesh Fruits. Oranges clean up better, but
much of the fruit marketed is poor. Seven
carloads came in to-day. Apples are very
scarce and choice stock sells well. California
Lemons are in fair demand and fancy stock
is firm. No Berries came in to-day.
There was better tone in the Vegetable
market this morning and sales We're liYelier
The Potato market is very firm, especially ioI
oregon Burbanks, which sold as hlgn as
81 50. Onions were easier. under fair de
mand. Mushrooms were lower to-day and 3
portion OF the arrivals was unstable.
