Firmer Feeling in the Wheat Market
at San Francisco.
Barley Rather Strong, But Prices No
Higher-Prices of Oats Tend
ing Downward.

San Francisco, February 2oth.
Though Wheat is not actually higher
there is a firmer feeling, owing to an aa-
vance at Chicago Among to-day's re-
ceipts were 81, ,466 centals from Port Costa
for export To-day's Flour receipts were
2S, $40 barrels. of which $4,000 are from
Vallejo for export purposes. The market
is firm, but not active. Barley is rather
strong, but prices are no higher Ihere
are 16,6s9 centals down from Port Costa
for export to Europe. Oats are not NOV
ing and prices are tending lower.
Potatoes are steady. Onions are quite
weak and lower. A few boxes Of Summer
Squash from Los Angeles We're offering
without buyer; they are held for 12l2c
The market for Rhubarb is decidedly sick;
there are 494 boxes in to-day, something
unusual for the month Of February, and
the prospects are poor for the season. As
paragus arrived to the extent of 274 boxes.
there were 20 sacks of Green Peas from
81 sources Choice Mushrooms still bring
Z0c per To for uncultiyated.
Butter seems TO have weakened con-
siderably; there is considerable uncertain
" as TO prices, but the figures below are
Aalf average. views on the Egg question
are also somewhat scattering. The mar
keL IS weak and prices are again lower;
safes are slow
