san FRANCISCO, April 29th.
December Barley is still the center of attrac-
ton to operators in the Produce Exchange
Call Board, and although there are but Two
sessions of the board on Saturday, yesterday
transactions aggregated upward OF 1O,OOo
tons. Prices were slightly lower than on the
preceding day. but holders were quite firm in
their demands Notwithstanding the state
ments from the interior that the rain OF the
past few days encourages the growers to hope
tore fair average crop the local operators are
still dealing on the theory that the yield Will
show a large decrease and that prices will be
correspondingly high.
Trade in Wheat is confined almost exclus-
lively TO futures, and as long as Call Boaro
prices range higher than spot ngures ana dis
portionate to values in the sample market,
the transactions for shipping account VIII re-
main very small The bulk of Wheat trade
in the Call Board is now confined TO December
options. The delivery of May Wheat still
progresses and the syndicate, which has
loaded up so heavily during the past few
months, have already accepted delivery OF
something like 10000 tons.
Oats, Corn and other Cereals are shade
easier.
In the local Produce market the movement
OF trade continues fair and prices generally
appear TO be well sustained, particularly for
strictly choice lines. Receipts OF Cherries and
Raspberries are still very light, but Straw
berries make a good display and are quite
reasonable in price. With the exception OF
Raisins the market for Dried Fruits is in ex-
cellent condition, with prices good and stocks
cleaned up.
Dairy Products are moving off well and
prices are steady. Creamery and fancy Dairy
Butter are in moderate supply, ana the
quoted rates are well sustained Ranch Eggs
are nrmer but store varieties are easy.
Poultry is still very dull and only young
stock is wanted.
