WHEAT QUIET AND SPOT VALUES
UNCHANGED.
Barley Firm for Choice Feed-Com-
mon Quiet and Weak-Oats
in Good Shape.
San Francisco. April goth.

San Francisco, April 3Oth.
Wheat is dull and spot values are un-
changed; the Chicago market IS on the
decline, and the local speculative market
is lower Flour arrived freely to-day; re-
ceipts were over 5000 barrels, being partly
for China and partly for Central American
trade Barley is firm for choice feed, ana
held at 771ac; common is quiet and weak.
Oats have been in pretty good shape lately,
they are not particularly active at the
moment Corn offerings are llght ana the
market is dull; none arrived to-day, but
there is considerable here.
Both Potatoes (old) and Onions are firm,
receipts of both have been light, out To-
days Potato receipts were heaVy; new
Onions have been on the market for
few days, and are worth about 81 % per
Genital Receipts were 396 boxes OF AS
paragus, 553 boxes Rhubarb, 426 sacks of
Peas S51 sacks of New Potatoes. AL
though Peas are in lighter receipt they
brought no better figures. Asparagus
moves along at about the same prices 1or
the last few days; few boxes bring more
than the top figure. Rhubarb is little
weaker. Tomatoes, both me- meAlcan 1oaa anu
native, are in ample supply and lower.
There were 443 chests OF StraWberrleS
and 80 boxes of Cherries received. "A lew
chests of LongworthS bring 81; the low
price of the large berries seems ridiculous,
but the fruit that goes at that hgure Is SO
green that it is not worth even -. Some
GooseberrieS arrived in sacks and sold at
3Gl4c per H. Cherries are lower; con-
siderable small and cracked stuff being
sent in. Bananas are now moving rather
slowly; plenty on the market. Orange sales
have improved somewhat, but figures are
no better. Mexican Lines are nrm, but
rather quiet.
Packing in the country prevents any
overstock in the fresh Butter market;
still there is considerable coming in; prices
have been unchanged for some days, and
there is no indication of an immediate
change. Cheese is coming forward freely
and is rather weak with a lower tendency
in prices. Eggs are moving slower for
the California article; attention being di-
Tected to a considerable extent to Eastern;
further decline in both store and ranch
Eggs is noted, some of the latter going as
low is 13c.
