San Francisco, April 18th.

| San Francisco, April 18th.
Wheat is quiet and firm: spot values
/ have,an upward tendency: light trading en-
call. Not much doing in Barley; choice
feed is higher. Oats are in ample receipt,
but the inquiry is light: no changes Corn
remains inactive at the quotations pre-
viously noted; none arrived to-day, but
there is plenty here.
Hay is steadier, under lighter receipts
Bran and Middings are firm, with an ad-
vance noted for the former. Receipts OF
| Middlings have been quite light of late,
| and an advance may be expected shortly
Although to-day's receipts of Bran were
| liberal the previous arrivals have been
| light and stocks on hand are greatly re-
| duced.
! Cherries from Vacaville brought 81 so
| per box; reports indicate that the Cherry
| crop will be quite limited this year owing
| 10 damage already done. From the vi
entity OF Fresno comes discouraging news
/ OF great injury to RaisinS, in some places
entire vineyards being destroyed by frost.
! The damage to PruneS viii be general
| throughout nearly all sections Of the
state, particularly the Santa Clara VAL
ley. Ihere were $40 chests of StraWber-
| rles received and some went at lower fig
nreS. oranges continue in ample supply,
! with only fair demand.
Butter continues weak; receipts from
Northern California are becoming heavier;
/
considerably. Cheese is beginning to ac-
cumulate, and another decline is expected
legs 40 not move as well as previously,
put prices are firm; the few that are sold
above the quotations are for select trade
and are hardly quotable. The expected
| ARRIVAL OF several cars of Eastern Eggs is
| probably holding some buyers back.
foultry is rather quiet at previous
| prices; except for live Turkeys, which are
lower Not much arrived to-day and the
| inquiry is light. Game consisted mostly
OF Hare and Rabbits.
