Trade in Wheat SIow-No Induce

OherinGs of Feed Barley in Excess of
Present Wants-Oat VAL
ueS Firm.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 31st.
There has been no 10 al trade of consequence
In Wheat since Saturday. ana there is not
likely to be any extensive movement for the
remainder of the week. The occurrence of
Decoration DAY has been ayailed of to some
extent by grain operators for a brief country
trip. Trade generally is OF slow order as
there is 10 inducement 1or liberal shipping
movement. The new harvest is at hand and
il is not likely that export OF erations will as
sumo any great magnitude until after much
of the new grain is sacked and delivered.
Prices are weak and no change for the better
can be expected until Improvement is de-
Neloped ut certain conters Offerings of Feed
Barley aie somewhat in excess of present
wants. But, as wants ut the moment are
rather light, 1t does not require Il large quau-
tlty OF Barley to promptly satisfy them
Prices have been irregular for some time.

speculative market was in teverish condition
Just now there is nothing of exciting charac-
ter In the situation. In fact, matters are tame
and dullness is conspicuous feature es-
pecially in spot transactions of magnitude
with the immediate outlook against sellers
For Brewing Barley there is yet considerable
inquiry for shipping purposes, with the usual
local demand This class OF stock is not very
plentiful, while of really choice quality tile
amount offering is not very large. As a con-
otNuCACS QuOldIiOHS are ufln ana against
buyers. Oat values are firm, but trade is
slow. Most buyers for feed purposes consider
ruling prices as too high, and look for a sub
Stitute that costs less. At the same time a
chOlce or fancy Offering never seems to be out
OF place, for there is always somebody willing
TO pay the price demanded. Stocks are anv-
thing but heavy, and they are well concen-
tTated, so that The situation may be said to
be lncIin1ng 1aNOrably tor the selling interest
The Vegetable market was in fair shape for
trading this morning, with few changes in

and supplies are light. Asparagus has a wide
range. Cucumbers are lower. Squash is
more plentiful.
In summer Fruits the receipts were $50
chests of Strawberries, 1 ,914 boxes cherries
110 boxes goosebelries, 90 boxes apricots
and s boxes apples. Some figs came In, but
sell green apples. Currants are coming IN
more freely. AprlcoIs are firm. StraWber-
ries and cherries aie unchanged. Citrus
fruits are in light demand.
In Poultry the Eastern stock which arrived
cleaned up well. Old geese are lower and SO
are hens: The range on young ducks S not so
pected toward the end OF the week. There is
little doing in game.
