SAN FRANCISCO, March IOIu.
There has been no market activity in regu-
lar Wheat channels this week, while specu-
lative trading has been of comparatively slow
order, with no violent fluctuations in prices.
This morning. however, Call Board operators
were treated to another surprise, showing that
the managers of the deal are not yet through
with the business. 1T the regular session
May Wheat opened siuggshly at 81 1O1a %
ctl, but was rapidly doomed up sc p ctl, clos
ing at 81 10y, under heavy transactions
No. Wheat for shipping purposes is quotable
at 95c q ctl, with 961z9971ac for choice falr
demand prevailed tor milling qualities, which
are firmly held at S1@1 0712 p ctl. There is
very little business in progress either for local
consumption or shipping purposes. Prices
tend rather in favor OF buyers than Otherwise,
simply because holders are willing to make
slight concessions to secure quicker and more
steady custom. Buyers OF Oats are taking
but little interest in offerings, and trade Ian
guiSheS in consequence. Prices snow ease.
Asparagus and Rhubarb are coming III
more heavily and prices are lower. Potatoes
continue weak. with wide range for sweets.
Onions are ashade lower
In Fresh Fruits Oranges and Lines are very
dull and weak. There is little doing in the
way OF Apples.
The Poultry market is in poor shape for
trading, and supplies OF Eastern continue
heavy. Turkeys are lower.
Butter is steady at quotations, with an
easier tone in the Egg market
