Little Done in the Wheat Market at
San Francisco Yesterday.
Owing to Dispute Between Manipu-
lators of Deal and the Ex-
change Directors.


The dispute between the manipulators of
the deal in May wheat, which is at present
demoralizing the sessions OF the San Fran
cisco Call Board, and the directors OF the
Produce Exchange seems to have eliminated
in a victory for the latter. A recent ruling OF
the directors reducing the marginal value OF
May wheat from 81 10 per GENITAL to 81 90
was considered a direct thrust at the pool
McGlaufiin q Co., who are acting as agents
for the pool, refused TO abide by the ruling,
as 1t rendered their deposits insufficient TO
cover their margins. AT a meeting OF the dl
rectors their ruling. was aSain olscussedl ana
in accordance with the opinion OF the attor-
neys for the exchange, it was decided to COM
pei McGlaufiin & Co. to comply with their
ruling or be s'sold out" Indications are that
the pool will comply, as a long and costly lit
fsation over the question involved would do
no good TO either party. AS yet, however, the
pool has taken no definite action in the mat
ter and has not deposited any additional
margin money. Pending this action little
was done III the market to-day. The tendency
was weaker and there were sales OF May OPP
tions as low as 81 1213.
There is a better feeling in Barley and hold
ers look upon the situation as being more en-
couraging. Choice feed qualities are some
what scarce, and this fact helps to steady
prices.
There is improving demand for Oats, and
diate prospect. Arrivals are light, but there
are ample stocks on hand 10 satisfy all current
nEeIS.
The Vegetable market is weak and dull The
receipts tins morning were II sacks Onions,
147 boxes Asparagus. $50 boxes Rhubarb
and boXes Cucumbers. Potatoes are in very
heavy supply. onions are easier.
There were receipts OF "a boxes of Apples
this morning. Choice varieties of Apples
command higher prices. Oranges are doing
better, stocks being well cleaned up.
lp lS doing better
higher grades. Eggs are weak and top figures
Dor choice ranch Eggs are obtained with Diff
Guilty. Cheese has weaker tendency.
The Poultry market Is in very dull condi-
ton, and prices are very weak tor Hens and
Old boosters. There is little inquiry for Game.
