WHEAT LIFELESS FOR SHIPPING
DESCRIPTIONS.
Feed Barley Firmer, While Brewing
is Inactive-Oat Market Flat at
Unchanged Prices.
San Francisco, May 14th.

ures for long time, and there is no Indl-
cation of a change; trade is fairly active
Wheat is lifeless for shipping descriptions;
about the only inquiry is for chicken feed,
and even that is light; speculation is also
dead. Feed Barley is firmer; as high as
U2c was paid in a small way Tor cho1ce;
brewing is inactive The Oat market is
fiat at unchanged prices. Corn is chang
ing hands a little more freely, but not
enough to affect quotations.
Tomatoes are in light supply and higher.
New Potatoes and new Onions are weaker.
String Beans are firm. Peas and Aspara-
gus are little off; Gamers are offering 60c
per sack for Peas. Rhubarb moves fairly
We'll, but at slightly lower figures.
Cherries are weaker; Gamers pay 35c
for Whites. No Oranges arrived to-day;
stocks on hand are light and the demand
is good.
Butter is steady, with no prospect of an
immediate change; while packing is going
on the receipts will about balance the de-
mand. Cheese is weak, and the tendency
is toward lower prices There are any
quantity of Eggs on hand; while the deal
erS may not display many there are plenty
IN storage; buyers are slow to pay 12c for
store Eggs; they do not want to pay over
lie.
Poultry is weak and dull; no demand for
anything in particular; receipts, while not
heavy, are enough for all needs. When
there is any Eastern here there is little
chance for California stock. The Eastern
IS held at higher figures but considering
the superior quality of the Eastern the diff
ference IN price is readily paid.
