SAN FRANCISCO, March 1st
Export movement in Wheat is not of heavy
character, no vessels having cleared so far
this week. There has been fair activity in
speculative circles, however, and liberal
transactions have occurred in the Call Board.
Prices are steady, with tendency upward
rather than otherwise. at the same time III
would be hard to establish any advance OF
consequence, unless some very positive
change for the better should occur at distant
centers Spot Wheat OF No. L shipping quality
is quotable at S21ac p ctl, with $3.50 and pos
elble soc for something OF fancy character.
Milling grades are undisturbed in price.
There is not much activity in Barley. Offer
ings on the tables OF the Exchange are can
vassed very leisurely, and purchases for iced
uses are far from being either quick or large.
Parcels adapted for Call Board purposes find
custom at full figures, but, otherwise, the
market shows little life. Brewing descriptions
are somewhat neglected at the moment,
though there is moderately firm holding OF
choice stock, as demand is expected later
along III the season.
There is goOdly array of the several kinds
OF Oats, but buyers do not enthuse and trade
Is of hand-to-mOuth character, Prices are
steady, without being buoyant.
Butter is plentiful and easy in price. Eggs
have again declined, supplies being large.
Several carloads have been sent East OF late,
tent
The Lenten season commenced this week
and Fish is likely to be in more general de-
mand Tor the next month or so.
The Game season is over, but retail dealers
have two days grace in which TO clean up
stocks.
Nothing new in Fruits. Apples and Oranges
are the main features.
Asparagus is coming in more freely and
prices are on the decline. Quotations for
other Vegetables are undisturbed.
