San Francisco, April 9th.
The demand for shipping Wheat,
though somewhat improved, is still Slow
some extra choice is held at 81 LA
aided by a firmer Chicago market, the
local market is stronger; foreign advlces
are not encouraging. Barley is advanced
for feed, and the market is hrm; a lew
sales of choice bright feed at 73Ac NO
change in Oats; market steady, with
fair volume of trading; over 1000 centais
an from Washington to-day corn con-
tinues in light demand and ample supply,
with prices unchanged. Rye is quiet at
previous figures.
Asparagus was dragging to-day and
was lower; the Gamers are paying 81
per box. Receipts of Rhubarb We're
lighter, but the demand is slow; some
held-over stock does not sell at all. Peas
are weaker; arrivals were little
heavier. Sweet Potatoes are lower
There were 2S2 sacks of New Potatoes
RECEIVED, and prices are lower
There were 10 chests of Straw berries
received, mostly of the small variety,
and sold at Saturdays figures. There
We're cars of Oranges received and 3
OF Lemons; the former are quite steady
Ior Seedlings and firm for Navels.
Lemons are weak and in over supply.
The market is almost bare OF Mexican
Lines; there are none due until Thurs
day. Nothing doing in Dried Fruits
since recent decline in Prunes.
