San Francisco. February 18th.
Wheat is in a slumpy condition and
prices are tending downward; futures are
lower and trading is quite lively. Flour is
hrm and active at unchanged prices; the
total receipts to-day were 9,253 barrels,
of which "a, 600 were from Vallejo for ex-
port to Australia. Barley appears to be
weak, but there is not much changing
hands. Oats are weak and dull; quota
tions below are full figures, and decline
is not unlikely in a day or TWO. The only
receipts of Corn to-day were 1875 centals
from Nebraska; the market is weak and
slow.
Potatoes are still weak; market heavily
supplied and demand light. Onions are
steady. Green Peas are abundant and
move slowly. Egg Plant is not wanted at
ali. The String Beans now here are most
ly hold-over stock. Tomatoes are weak
and lower.
Butter is coming forward more freely,
the market is easy and prices are lower.
Cheese is steady; stocks are increasing
Slightly. Eggs are weak and lower, some
dealers even quoting as low as 4oc LOT
store and 15c as the best for ranch Eggs.
The demand is mostly for store Eggs, IN
preference to ranch.
The market is cleaning up little on
Poultry; young stock IS IN demand, Dut
old stock drags. The market generally IS
in better shape than it has been for a week
past. Game is sold for whatever buyers
viii give; the beginning OF the Lenten
season has knocked the market out en-
1irely.
