No Life to the Wheat Situation at
San Francisco.
The Tone of the Barley Market of
Soft Character-Little Strength
to Oat Prices.

SAN FRANCISCO May 18th.
There is no life to the Wheat situation, and
the prospect for any improvement in matters
is far from encouraging. For shipping pur-
poses standard Wheat is worth about S71ac,
but nobody wants it, and it would hardly be
possible to find a buyer in any quantity in
the condition of affairs. Holders will have to
patiently wait for some demand to spring up,
when better prices may be the result OF in
creased activity. Milling grades show weak
ness, the quotable range for such quality be-
ing 971ac@S1 o5 per GENITAL.
The tone of the Barley market is of soft
character. Cool weather is having beneficial
effect on growing crops, and reports as to
yield are much less gloomy than they were a
short while ago. In speculative circles there
was some lively trading to-day at declining
rates, sales showing drop of 81 per ton from
yesterdays figures
Oat prices show scarcely any strength, and a
reduction of quotations all round within a
day or two would not be surprising. Dealers
present a fairly liberal array OF offerings, but
sampling is low and sales are few.
The receipts OF Vegetables this morning
were 500 boxes Asparagus, 3S6 boxes Rhu-
barb, 223 sacks Peas, z 5 sacks Beans. ,227
sacks Potatoes and boxes Cucumbers. The
range of Asparagus was higher. onions con-
The receipts of Fruit were 725 boxes Straw
berries, 1871 Cherries, ~ boxes Goose
berries and 1 box OF Apricots. Strawberries
and Cherries were lower.
The Butter market is weak, with no changes
in prices Eggs are firm, with an easier tone
in ranch. Cheese is steady.
The Poultry market is dull, with tirmer
prices for young stock, which is scarce.
