SAN FRANCISCO, March 26th-
The Produce Exchange held no session yes
terday. having adjourned from last Thursday
till next Monday. Grain quotations are there
fore omitted The members of the Produce
Exchange Call Board Association are deeply
interested in the meeting of the Board of Di-
rectors tomorrow afternoon, and there are all
sorts of guesses as to what attention Will De
given to the recommendation of the meeting
OF last Thursday, relative to the marginal
price of May Wheat. The majority OF men,
bers whose Judgment is not swayed by per-
Sonal interests in the deal appear 10 oeheVe
that the directors only acted within proper
limits when they reduced the marginal value
from 81 10 to 81 % per Genital on the other
hand, the bull element are conndent the
board were unjust in their action, and only
made the change TO subserve their own per-
sonal ends. The opinion is quite prevalent
that the directors will do nothing in the prem
ises. Yesterday was practically holiday,
and no quotations were received from Eng
land. There were number OF brokers around
the Merchants Exchange and there were
few transactions. Eastern quotations were
about the same as on Thursday. In the local
Produce markets the movement OF trade was
very slow yesterday ana prices were generally
low and weak. Sales OF Oranges are becoin-
ing rather more voluminous, but the I'M
provement is very slow. Dealers are anx-
iously looking forward to warmer weather.
Vegetables are in good supply and the de-
mand is steady. Dried Fruits are moving OFT
under moderate but steady inquiry and
strictly choice varieties are becoming less
plentiful. Dairy Produce Is selling We'll, but
prices are so extremely low that producers
are discouraged with results. Sales OF Cream
cry Butter continue steady and Eggs are meet
ing with good demand. with prices unim-
proved.
