Lack Of Spirit and Activity in the San
Francisco Wheat Market.
Better Tone to Barley Prices without
Any Improvement In the Way
of Trade.
sAN FRANcrsco. March a7th.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 27th.
The sample Wheat market lacks both spirit
and activity, ana the prospects do not encour-
age the belief Of any change for the better in
the near future. Shippers are not buying and
trade on export account is therefore of drag
ging character, with quotations more or less
nominal at a range of 921a@95c y ctl for good
to choice grades. Milling Wheat sells higher,
say $1@1 o6L p ctl. Call Board business mas
been very light of late, owing to the contro-
versy in regard 10 margins being yet unset
tied. It is understood the directors viii make
final decision in the premises tomorrow
There is better tone to Barley prices, with
out any improvement in the way OF trade.
Dry weather is the main factor in impartlng
more strengthto the market STOCKS OF leeu
on hand show no marked diminution, but re-
ports as to growing crops are less glowing
than they were couple OF weeks ago, and
dealers look for an advance in prices if heavy
rains do not occur very soon in those sections
now suffering 1or want of mo .sture. Good
brewing qualities are known TO be somewhat
limited in quantity, and some holders decline
10 submit any offerings just now, though IL
should be understood there is no pressing de-
mand.
Asparagus arrived in heavy quantities this
morning and prices dropped materially
Rhubarb also was in heavy supply. Potatoes
were weak. Onions We're steady. Ine receipts
were asa boxes Asparagus, 134 SACKS onions,
434 boxes RhubarD, boxes CucumDers and
boxes new Potatoes.
There were five carloads OF Oranges sold yes
terday at auction. Apples were in light de-
mand at quotations.
The Butter market is steady, with weaker
tone in Eggs. Cheese is Interchangeable.
The Poultry market is steady and cleaning
up better. Game 10 quiet.
