SPECULATIVE WHEAT MARKET
VERY ACTIVE.
Barley Quiet, and an Easy Feeling
PrevailS-OatS Inactive at I'm
changed Prices.
San Francisco, June 18th.


Barley is quiet and an easy feeling pre-
walls; it is hard to get the quotation for
choice feed; sample of new crop was
received from Bethany, San Joaquin
County; it is choice brewing, weighing
Is lbs. Oats are inactive; prices are I'M
changed; White Oats are stiff, but Gray
are trif1e easier; arrivals being rather
free. Large Yellow Corn moves fairly
well, but of other kinds there is not much
changing hands. Rye continues weak
and neglected.
Potatoes are quite firm, and some OF the
old varieties are higher. onions are plen-
tiful and cheap. There are few good
Tomatoes here; most of those Offering
are either soft or too green. String Beans
are decidedly off to-day; receipts are
heavier and the demand light; there are
quite lot of inferior Beans here, eS-
pecially wax, which do not sell at all.
There is practically no limit to the price
OF the few boxes of extra Asparagus ar
irving now; most of that offering is of
ordinary quality and goes slowly. The
receipts OF Rhubarb are not heavy, but
1t is entirely too much for the demand;
there is very little sale for it.
Strawberries did better. Apricots are
weaker, under heavy receipts. While
Cherries sold at about yesterdays prices,
there appeared to be an easier feeling /;
the trade was not SO eager for them.
Some good Currants bring So per chest;
those at the low quotation are widowed,
Peaches are weaker; some wrapped bring
more than the top figure.
Butter prices are steady at the moment,
but there is an easy feeling noticeable,
ana IN all probability prices Will shortly
drop. Cheese is in ample supply and the
demand is rather slow. The quality of
store Eggs is quite poor now, and some
sales are made below the inside quota
ton; they move very slowly. Occasion
ally 16c is obtained for selected ranch
legs; they move fairly well, but nothing
extra.
Poultry is dull for all kinds and prices
are as previously quoted; the condition
OF the stock arriving is against its sale,
even though there were a demand. Large
young BOOSTERS are wanted, but there
are none here. The Eastern cleaned up
well at good prices, but that is not sur
prlslng when the difference between Cal
1fornia and Eastern Poultry is considered
Produce Quotations.
