San Francisco, February Sd.
Flour is firm and unchanged, although
an advance is expected shortly. There
was sharp advance in Wheat to-day;
the sample market is quiet and firm, and
speculation is very active; export move
ment is rather slow for the present. Bar
ley is advanced, with a strong market
and not much offering. The Oat market
IS rather fiat; liberal offerings, but light
demand Rye is firm and fairly active.
Beans continue duh at the old figures,
and receipts light. Business has been
quiet for some time, and there are no
signs Of Improvement.
Potatoes are steady and the demand is
light. Sweets are lower. Onions are
weak and in liberal supply Tomatoes sell
well, but are rather scarce. But few
String Beans here, and they are not of
good quality. The Mushrooms in market
were a few held over. Asparagus takes
wide range, some selling at 20c per 10.
Green Peas are Of better quality and sell
fairly well. Arrivals OF Green Peppers
are light as yet
Apples appear to move slowly and it is
only choice brand that brings the top
price. The Orange market is quite weak;
receipts continue large and sales slow.
Dried Fruit still move slowly, although
there seems to have been an improve
naent in the last week or two
Butter and Cheese are still firm, with
rather light stocks; there is a good de-
mand and prices are unchanged. Weak
ness still characterizes the Egg market;
receipts have been quite heavy for the
past few days. Store Eggs We're offered
zor lie this morning.
