in Demand-Oats Inactive and
Prices Unchanged.
s.n Francisco. April 2od.

San Francisco, April 22d.
Wheat continues weak, both on ana OIL
call; the Chicago market is also weak and
declining Feed Barley is firm at pre-
vious figures; a choice, bright article
would bring 76Ac but there is none Of
fered. Oats are inactive and prices are
unchanged Corn continues duii, put
firmly held at the quotations.
No changes in Old Potatoes, except
Early Rose which are higher. onions
continue in fair supply at the recent de-
cline. Receipts to-day were 469 boxes OF
Asparagus, 317 boxes. of Rhubarb, l93
sacks of Peas and 351 sacks of New Pota-
toes. Peas are quite firm, owing to hght
receipts, and advanced; few sacks sold
as high as sc. Asparagus is firmer for
extra stock. The poorer grade OF Rhu-
barb is lower. Fresh arrivals of New Po-
tatoes are higher, but held-over stock
goes lower than the quotations.
Receipts of Strawberries We're lighter
223 chests-and prices did little better;
complaints continue of Berries being
either sandy or green; at present baskets
do not bring as much as loose in drawers
There were less Cherries in to-day, but
they move slowly. Gooseberries arrived
to the extent of IA boxes.
Butter is now rather steady; price un-
changed. Cheese is weak and tending
toward lower prices. Eggs are easier, as
anticipated a lew days ago, with OTtSOu
and Eastern Eggs on the market, the de-
mand for California has fallen off, and
Ranch have declined.
