NOMINAL-RECEIPTS LIGHT.
A Weaker Feeling in Barley, and
Prices are Tending DOWNWARD
Business In Oats Slow.

San Francisco, March 3Oth.
Wheat remains practically nominal; any
pressure TO sell would weaken prices; re-
ceipts very light. There is weaker feei-
ing in Barley and prices are tendlng GOWN
ward oats are as previously quoted,
with business slow. Corn is pretty much
neglected, and prices show no change.
Nothing doing in Rye and prices are weak.
Asparagus is quite firm and prices are
advanced; few boxes bring more than
top quotations. Rhubarb is also doing bet
ter; not a great deal in and the demand
is good; some extra brings 81 per box.
The fresh receipts of String Beans are Of
better quality; some of the held-oVer
stock has to be dumped. Peas are weaker.
The native Tomatoes may be expected to
do well now, as there are only few boxes
of the Mexican article left.
The Orange market is fairly steady at
previous prices; there were seven cars in
to-day. The Island steamer brought over
1000 punches of Bananas, but they are
quite green. She also had on 13 crates
Pineapples; the latter are higher:
Strawberries were lower to-day; re-
ceipts were about chests; they are not
quite as ripe as they should be. Mexican
Lines continue firm and scarce; owing
to the uncertain steamship service both
shipper and dealer are inconvenienced,
and frequently shipments are spoiled by
steamer delay The steamer due to leave
left that port and she was due here to-day.
The shipper must have his goods packed
and ready for shipping on schedule time,
and as consequence they are spoiled
Butter is weak; there is now less COM
plant about soft Butter arriving, and
stock generally is in better shape. Eggs
are easy, with large receipts and only
fair demand.
