AND PRICES STATIONARY.

Butter Steady.
San Francisco, May 18th.

San Francisco, May TN.
The local Wheat market mas peen
featureless for some time past ana spot
prices have been stationary; to-ody
Chicago market was encouraging, put II
had no effect locally; cargo of S2,l96
centals is down from Port Costa 1or Eng
land. Barley is quiet and rather easy;
some bright feed still held for toAc;
brewing is very quiet. Oats and Corn
markets are very dull and fiat. Rye is
quiet and weak.
Asparagus moves rather slowly; re-
ceipts are lighter. Peas are weaker; the
receipts were not up to yesterday, put
they go slowly. String Beans are scarce
and higher Old Potatoes are firm and
generally higher Onions are ABOUT
steady for old; new are weaker
Six crates of Blackberries were re-
ceived from Covina, Los Angeles County;
there were 10 baskets to crate, and
sold for So per crate. Three drawers of
Raspberries were received. StraWber-
ries arrived to the extent of $50 chests
and Cherries 395 boxes; the former SOFA
at Yesterdays figures. There i Is woe .e
Tor choice fruit; the trashy, cracked
stuff goes for almost any price down TO
z5c per box, and some of it is only ut to
throw away.
Butter remains steady at previous quo
tations. The shelves are filling up with
Cheese and the market is weak. Eggs
are very weak; sales of ranch are re-
ported at lie and of store Eggs at 1O12c.
There is not much chance for an i'm
provement in California Eggs until the
market is cleared OF the foreign article
