Trading In Oats Light.
San Francisco, April 18th.

San Francisco, April 18th.
Flour is fairly active at unchanged
prices; over 5000 barrels went out by the
steamer Acapulco, mostly for Central
America. Wheat is very quiet and spot
values are as previously quoted Aovices
from Chicago are not encouraging, and
the local speculative market is weak.
Barley is firm for feed and sales were
made to-day at 75c; the demand for
choice brewing is lighter. Trading IN
Oats is not heavy and prices are un-
changed; liberal receipts from oregon to-
day No Corn arrived, but there is plenty
here; market is fairly steady at previous
prices. Rye is weak and the top price is
lower, although soc is still asked NO
Buckwheat changing hands to any extent
Reports from some of the valley Sec
tionS are that the frost and hail nave nurt
most of the Vegetables. Receipts were 4l5
boxes of Asparagus, All boxes OF Rhu-
barb, 436 sacks of Peas, 505 sacks OF new
Potatoes. 80 boxes of Cucumbers. AS
paragus is firmer under lighter receipts,
and moves well. Peas are also DONG pet
ter, both in price and demand IeW
Berkeley garden Peas bring above the
quotations. Rhubarb is a drug; everybody
seems to have had a sufficiency. Cucum-
berS are in larger receipt ana lower. Gooo
Green Peppers are now oHerlng. fota-
toes are steady; the market is now better
supplied with Onions, though tney are not
at all plentiful.
Crop reports are to the effect that early
Fruits have been hurt by the frost; Cner-
rieS are the greatest sufferers. Another
shipment of GooSeberrieS has been re-
ceived from San Leandro; the amount was
10 drawers, and they brought o0G60c per
drawer. Strawberries were in Hghter re-
ceipt and the best were advanced; re-
ceipts, 100 chests. The cold weather has
hurt the demand for Oranges somewhat,
can Lines are in light supply and quite
firm. Nuts move along slowly and are IN
ample supply, except Walnuts, which are
scarce and firm.
Another day without a change in Butter,
although the market is very weak ana
prices are looking downward. Cheese Is
weak, and further decline is not lar on
w hlle there is another Sllght advance III
Eggs, the opinion is that the top price has
been reached. AS long as retailers could
offer Eggs at two dozen for 2oc prices
per dozen and over, as they must at the
present prices, the demand begins to
slacken. The market is pretty well de-
pleted Of store Eggs, but ranch are more
plentiful, though not abundant.
