Spot Wheat is dull, weak and lower;
futures are also weaker; Chicago IS weak
and declining. No demand for Barley
prices unchanged. Oats are dull; none ar
rived to-day. There was no Corn re-
ceived; trading light; previous prices rule

1thubarh $50 boxes, and of Peas 21O sacks.
Asparagus was firm to-day; one cannery
IS buying at 81 80 per box for choice stock.
Rhubarb is weak. Peas move slowly
but tomorrow will probably see an i'm
provement on account OF steamer ship
ments.
Oranges are now doing well; as high as
81 80 is paid for fancy Seedlings and So
for fancy Navels, but sales at these fig
ures are not large; receipts were 3 cars
Eananas are weak some selling at a0e
per bunch; there were over 2, 100 punches
On the island steamer.
There are no changes to note in Dairy
Produce. Temporarily prices are fixed
but Eggs are tending downward and to-
morrow will very likely see a decline;

store Eggs, but dealers generally are
holding out for 10c and better. Cheese
IS steady at the quotations
There was a slightly easier feeling in
Poultry to-day, but prices are no lower;
in fact Ducks are even higher, but they
are an exception, being very scarce. A
lew select Hens bring more than quota
tions.
