COMMERCIAL.
The Produce Exchange Adjourned
Until Next Monday.
Prices of Spot Wheat Largely Nominal,
Few Sales Being Made for
Shipping Purposes.

SAN FRANCISCO. March 23d.
To-day being Good Friday, there is no ses-
sion OF the Produce Exchange, the members
adjourning from yesterday until next Mon
day morning. Consequently, there is no bus
iness doing in grain circles. The same quiet
ness prevails in Chicago, New York and Liver
pool, the day being observed as holiday in
all those centers, and no quotations come from
those directions. Matters in local Wheat
circles have been badly mixed this week,
owing to some trouble in the Call Board in re-
gafd TO margins on contracts for future de-
livery. The situation is likely to be more or
less unsettled until the controversy is ended.
The price of Spot Wheat is largely nominal,
as few sales are being made for shipping pur-
poses Taking the Liverpool quotations as a
basis for calculation, it would admit of about
927ac being paid here Tor No. l Shipping
Wheat, though lot of 100 tons or more
would bring higher figure for Call Board
purposes. Milling Wheat can be had at a
range of S1@I OK p ctl. Feed Barley is
steady at range of 7114@761c p ctl Oats
are plentiful and cheap, with no active move
ment A fancy article is held as high as
81 121a91 10, while good Oats can be had at
81 0212@1 O5. Corn is not plentiful and
Iellows are held firmly at 95@971ac. Hay
moves along quietly at unchanged rates.
81 an and Middlings are in heavier receipt,
with downward tendency in price, as the de-
mand is not urgent.
The Vegetable market is quiet. The receipts
this morning were 129 boxes Asparagus, 81
sacks Onions 159 boxes Rhubarb, boxes
Cucumbers and 9 sacks of Peas. Asparagus
closed little higher, with sales at IA cents,
and Rhubarb was tirmer under an improved
demand. Onions have a wider range. Pota-
toes are weak.
There is little doing in the Fresh Fruit
market. The receipts this morning were 207
boxes. Oranges rule firm.
The Butter market is weak for the lower
grades. Eggs are in good demand and firm
for choice. Cheese is weak at quotations.
There are few changes in the poultry mar.
ket. Turkeys are steady. Hens and BOOSTERS
are irmer. Game is dull
