SPOT WHEAT WEAK AND NOT
1UCH DOING.
Very Little Barley Offering, Particu-
larly Choice Feed and
Brewing.
San Francisco, April 21st.

San Francisco, April 21st
Spot Wheat is weak and there Is not
much doing Very little Barley oHefins,
particularly choice feed and brewing
Oat receipts were light, and tradllg
likewise; no changes. Corn continues
dull but prices are not shaded any. Rye
is quiet and steady.
Potatoes are steady, with the market
better supplied. Onions have weakened,
owing to liberal supplies in the last few
days. Rhubarb did better for best
grades, but ordinary shows no improve
ment. Peas are firm, and although re-
ceipts are somewhat heavier they are
doing we'll. Asparagus shows no change,
except that the poor grade brings more
money. Tomatoes are scarce and nigh
for California stock; very few Mexlcans
here.
There were 10 boxes of Gooseberries
received, and sold at 60Q65c per box.
Cherries arrived to the extent of 96
boxes, and sold at 81 254l2 for black and
5OcQ$1 for white Strawberry receipts
amounted to about 400 chests and were
weaker. Reports of the fruit crop from
nearly all sections are very d1scouraglng,
and the prospects of large crops of any
fruit are poor. Grapes will be heavy SUI
ferers, while Peaches, Apricots, Cherries,
ETC., are also in a bad way. The effect is
noticeable on the Cherries now arriving.
The market is again supplied with Mexi-
can Lines, the steamer yesterday hav-
ing brought quantity.
Butter and Cheese show no changes.
Eggs are advanced for ranch, but it will
not last long when the Eastern get in full
swing. Small sales of store Eggs are
made above the quotations, and there
are unconfirmed reports of ranch selling
better than the prices quoted below.
