San Francisco, April goth.
Wheat is quiet and unchanged, the
choice article, both shipping and mliilng'
Is scarce; options were slightly OH TINS
morning; a cargo is down from Port Costa
for Europe. Barley is firm for feed; sales
at 76Ac to-day; little offering Not much
doing in Oats and previous prices stand;
receipts light Corn shows no improve
ment, either in trading or prices. Rye is
somewhat steadier, though no hlgher,
choice lots are held for Soc
Potatoes are steady. Onions are in lar
ger supply and weaker. Receipts were
697 boxes of Asparagus, 236 boxes of Rhu-
barb, 315 sacks of Peas, 49l sacks OF new
Potatoes. Peas move freely at an ad-
vance. Asparagus cleaned up We'll but
at lower figures. Rhubarb receipts were
not heavy, but there was considerable
held over from Saturday. The market is
practically bare of Tomatoes at the
moment; there are no California and but
very few Mexicans.
Seven boxes of Cherries were received
from Sacramento River points, but did
not sell readily; there were also some
held over from Saturday; black and red
varieties brought 81 5OQ2, and whlte BOG
T5c per box. There were DIT chests of
Strawberries received, and top prices were
lower. Fresh supplies of Mexican Lines
Will be on the market tomorrow al
and rather scarce: other varieties are in
ample supply and weak.
Creamery Butter remains unchanged,
but dairy descriptions are firmer, owing
to lighter supply. Eggs are firm; store are
a fraction higher; two carloads of Eastern
are due tomorrow, ard the demand for
California stock has fallen off.
