day at San Francisco.
Butter Market Steady, With Light
Improvement in the Demand
for the Finer Grades.

The outlook neither at home nor abroad
would justify much of an effort to send prices
kiting, and the news as it comes in from all
quarters has rather dampening effect on the
spirits of spectators. The total sales on regu-
lar call were 800 tons. OF this 1900 tons
were May wheat at from 81 291s to 81 293s.
The sales of barley were 2 200 tons, OF which
1000 tons were May, at from 83% TO S394
ents and 200 tons seller '93, new, at S4ls
cents. The spot wheat market is dull, with
light receipts The foreign markets are dull

especially for Dressed Turkeys which have
recently arrived in quantities from the EISt.
