WHEAT STEADY, WITH TRADING
SLIGHTLY IMPROVED.
Barley Easier for Feed, But Quite Firm
for Brewing-Oats Quiet
and Easy.

Wheat is steady, with trading s1ghtly
improved; no changes. Barley is easier
for feed, but quite firm for brewing; a
cargo of 10000 centals down from Port
Costa for export. Oats are quiet and easy;
gray are somewhat scarce, and while
white are not abundant, still there are
enough for all needs. Corn continues dull,
and prices unchanged. No Oats or Corn
arrived to-day.
Green Corn and Cucumbers are weaker;
the latter find very slow sale. Potatoes
are very weak and declining. Onions are
also very weak and dragging; Red are
hardly worth quoting, as there is no sale
for them, quantities being dumped. Bell
Peppers are a trif1e higher.
The Grapes received from Palm Springs
were not in good condition and moved
slowly. Apples are in good demand; the
top figure is for fancy 4-tier Gravenstein.
Peaches are in large supply and weak. Cur
rants were in light supply and higher.
Berries moved slowly at previous prices.
Lemons continue scarce and firm Fresh
supplies of Mexican Lines are on the mar
ket at pretty stiff figures; about 500 boxes
arrived on the last steamer. The weather
is not very favorable for the sale OF
Watermelons but still they move fairly
well; contiscation of green ones goes on.
The trade does not take hold or Canta-
loupes when they are offered, and Wnen
there are none here there is demand Tor
them.
Butter has advanced rapidly in the past
few days; another rise is noted for cream
cries to-day; receipts have been hght anu anu
stocks are greatly reduced Cheese is hrm
at a slight advance for fancy mild new;
stocks are quite low. Eggs have AGAIN ad,
vanced, under light receipts and a good
demand with the market quite hrm, eSpe-
cially for fancy ranch.
