COMMERCIAL.
BUT LITTLE INQUIRY FOR SPOT
WHEAT, AND PRICES WEAK.
The Barley Market All Through Easier
-Oat Market i'm Fair Shape at
Unchanged Prices.

San Francisco, May 4th.
Spot Wheat is weak at previous figures;
no inquiry to speak of. For choice 1eeo
Barley TIC is still being asked, but not
over 76Ac is paid; the market all through
appears to be rather easier than otherWise.
The Oat market is in fair shape at I'M
changed prices. Corn is steady; prices are
not disturbed; the receipts to-day were
2,6S5 centals White, already sold Tor 81 nc
Rye is quiet and weak; no changes.
Notwithstanding heavier receipts of As
paragus and Peas prices were higher. Rhu-
barb was in lighter supply, but there is
considerable held-over stock on hand and
the market is rather weak; some sold as
low as 25c. Plenty of Tomatoes on the
market now 240 boxes arrived to-day;
the quality of the Mexican and native pro-
duct is about equal and prices are the
same. Potatoes are firm; oregon and
Humboldt Burbanks are advanced Onions
are easy, except for fancy, which rule firm
Strawberries arrived to the extent of
236 chests and Cherries 141 boxes. Some
of the small variety of Strawberries
brought more than the top quotation; the
fruit was generally cleaner to-day than 1t
has been of late, but still not what it
should be- Cherries arrive in poor condi-
ton. being small and cracked. Oranges
move slowly and the situation fayOrS the
buyer. Bananas are in light supply, but
another steamer will be here in few
days. The Pineapples now here are, as a
rule, not much account; few choice bring
80 per dozen.
