Sample Wheat Market Sustained
Largely by Call Board influences.
Nervous Feeling to the Barley Market.
Matters Now Ringing Largely
on Rain.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 30th.
From 90c to 921ac p ctl is the quotaole
range for fair to good shipping grades OF
Wheat, there being buyers at these figures on
export account, though the demand is neither
large nor urgent. Possibly choice lots could
be placed in a small way at 9614@97Ic. The
sample market is sustained largely by Call
Board influences. Speculation has not been
very brisk this week, but sellers of contracts
steadily pick up Wheat that is of the quality
required to meet their engagements, paying
anywhere from 81 TO 81 05 p ctl. The in
quiry for milling Wheat is quite moderate,
while all wants can be promptly supplied at
at S1@1 90, as to quality.
There is a nervous feeling to the Barley
market. Matters now hinge largely on rain,
which is badly wanted in more than one
growing section. Holders are not offering
freely, while some have withdrawn samples
for the present. Prices within a few days
have strengthened, though no increased busi-
ness has developed. Any further change in
values is largely dependent on future weaker
conditions.
Oat consignments are falling of and the
market is getting into better shape for the
selling interest. The demand is not brisk,
| but there is movement enough in progress to
cause noticeable reduction In stocks. Prices
are fairly steady, and the tendency is upward
rather than otherwise.
There are no changes reported in fresh
Fruits. Oranges are steady at quotations and
dull.
The Butter market is weak for the fancy
grades, and prices are marked down. Eggs
are weak, the demand being unusually light.
Cheese is steady at quotations.
The Vegetable market continues we'll sup
piled with early varieties Receipts of AS
paragus were heavier to-day, but stocks
cleared up we'll Rhubarb came in lighter.
Potatoes hold steady and Onions are firm at
quotations.
The arrivals Of Eastern Poultry continue
another carload having just been marketed.
California stock is dull, with prices firm.
Game arrives light, and the demand is poor.
