COMMERCIAL.
WHEAT CONTINUES DULL AND
DEPRESSED.
Barley Firm and Advanced for
Feed-Oats Are Doing
Better.
San Francisco. May 18th.


White Corn is dull and lower.
New Onions are in liberal supply and
weak Asparagus and Peas are steady at
about previous prices. String Beans are
quite firm at better prices. tomatoes are
in light supply and bring more money;
the Mexican article attracts little atten-
1ion at present. Rhubarb is weak, though
not actually lower. Egg Plant and Sum-
mer Squash are in scant supply and are
not much inquired for.
Strawberries We're in heavier receipt,
being $50 chests, and were higher. Goose
berries are lower and go slowly. The
few Raspberries received sold at yester-
days prices. No Blackberries arrived
either yesterday or to-day. Receipts OF
Cherries We're 1.852 boxes; prices are lower
and sales rather slow. Mexican Lines
are firm, under moderate supplies.
Previous conditions of the market are
unchanged. Butter seems to be gathering
little strength, but prices are not dis
turbed. There is an easier feeling, If any
thing, in Eggs; dealers are shading prices
to effect sales; lie is an extreme for store
lots.
The market is all cleaned up on Eastern
Poultry; another car will be here next
Tuesday. Receipts of California were not
heavy and trade is naturally quiet; nc
changes.
