Trade in Shipping Continues to Be Of
Light Volume.
A Further Advance in Barley Looked
For Within the Next Ten Days
Unless There is Good Rain.


SAN FRANCISCO, April 18th.
Trade in shipping Wheat continues TO be of
light volume, while the promise is not fiatter-
ing for any immediate change for the better.
Quotations are somewhat nominal though il
is generally admitted that 95c p ctl is about
as represen sentatlve a figure as can be given for
standard quality. For Call Board purposes,
81 can be obtained from parties wishing TO
I'LL contracts for future delivery. Milling
Wheat is in moderate demand at steady rates,
say 81 02@1 90, with choice lots held a little
higher.
Shipments of Barley from the interior have
not been very free Of late. The dry weather
has doubtless caused growers 10 hold back
consignments. a little more inquiry on local
account has also tended to help matters
along, and the market for the past few days
has shown rather strong undertone The com
ing week viii be awaited with interest by
dealers, as much hinges on rain. If none
should fall within the next ten days, fur
tner advance in quotations is not unlikely,
while the reverse Is almost sure to be the case
If we should have good and general down
pour.
The Vegetable market is quiet just now
Gamers are not buying Asparagus. although
prices are low, probably having enough stock
The full and satisfactory supply of fine SW eet
Peas all the year round from Southern Cali

New Potatoes are plentiful, but the quality is
poor. Potatoes are weak. Onions are steady.
The market for Fresh Fruits is unchanged.
A few Strawberries come in all the time, but
supplies are light Tor the season. LINES are
st1ffly held
Butter is weaker ut quotations. Fresh Eggs
are very plentiful and the mark ct dull. Cheese
is weak.
