WHEAT DULL In SPOT AND SPEC
ULATIVE MARKETS.
Feed Barley Firm at an Advance in
PriCes-InCreased Inquiry
for Oats.
Son Francisco. May 18th.


Speculative and spot markets; from Port
Costa were received 2S, 533 centals, which
go to Cape Town. Feed Barley Is about
the most active article on the list, ana is
firm at an advance. There is increased IN
Quiry for Oats, but trading is not I'M
proved nor prices unchanged. Rye is
weak; offerings are not heavy, but still
more than enough for the slow demand
New Potatoes are frmer; some fancy
bring 81 % per ctl- New onions are
weaker. Tomatoes are in light supply
and higher. Asparagus is weak, though
no lower; Gamers are paying $1Q1 70 per
box
Butter continues steady and Cheese
easy Eggs are in large supply and there
is no prospect of an advance; the bulk of
store Eggs go at 111ac and of ranch at
I215c.
Poultry is doing a little better for good
stock; young BOOSTERS are advanced. The
Eastern is well cleaned up and II native
stock were in good condluon 1t would
easily bring better figures.
