SAN FRANCISCO. May 18th.
The Wheat market is in very unsatis-
factory condition. There is no selling pres
sure, yet prices continue to steadily decline,
more in sympathy with the situation at for
eigR distributing centers than from any pos
1tiVe desire to realize. Exporters are not 90
ing anything and are not likely to begin 10
operate until the Liverpool market COM
mences to show improvement. Spot Wheat,
suitable for shipping purposes, is hardly quot
able over S71ac p ctl being nominal 10 great
extent, as but little stock is changing hands.
Milling Wheat is quotable al S1@I OH q ctl.
The Barley market is not quite so buoyant
as II was week ago. The late rain has tended
TO check the upward progress OF values and
buyers are at less disadvantage. Sample trade
il not lively, purchases being slow and not
liberal In proportions. In speculative circles
there is fair volume OF business, with un-
steadiness in price, the market being sensi-
tive TO weaker variations.
The demand for Oats is not satisfactory 10
sellers, being light and irregular, while prices
as a rule show easy feeling. stocks are not
particularly heavy and arrivals OF magnitude
from any source are hardly probable IN the
near future But the market generally sym
pathizes with the weak feeling in other arti-
cles of feed.
The market for vegetables is quiet, with
prices steady.
The receipts of berries this morning were
light. Two boxes of Apricots, the first of the
season, came from Nacaville, and were offered
at 90 cents a box. Strawberries and good
Blackberries were a little higher. A few Cur
rants have appeared.
The Butter market is steady, with ample
stocks on hand All kinds of Eggs are firm.
Cheese is steady.
The Poultry market rules dull and weak at
quotations.
