WHEAT FAIRLY STEADY AT PRE-
VIOUS PRICES.
Barley Shows No Changes in Quota
tions, But Trading is
Very Slow.

Wheat is fairly steady at previous prices;
slightly easier feeling prevails at Chi
cago; the local sample market is quiet
Barley shows no change in prices, but
trading is very slow. Not much doing in
Oats or Corn and prices remain as pre-
viously quoted, except for White Corn,
which Is scarcer and advanced.
Fruit receipts In general were lighter,
especially on Grapes and Berries. The
rain will probably send the Grapes in
cracked in a few days. Figs are easier.
Apples are piling up; there are too many
common here, which keep the price Of the
choice fruit down. Fancy Bartlett Pears
are scarce; in fact, all Pears are in lighter
supply. -Four cars of Watermelons arrived; ;
one would easily supply the market with
the present weather
Butter is very weak and prices continue
to decline, as will be seen When prices
commence to go down buyers usually hold
off, waiting for a further drop, and do not
buy until exhausted stock compel them TO-
The Egg market continues in good shape
There is a market for all OF the fresh re-
cepits, and cold storage stock IS being
drawn on right along; fancy ranch bring
more money; up to 3Oc is obtained occa-
SiOnally.
