San Francisco, February 18th.
Flour is firm and unchang d; receipts
are light. Wheat, locally, is steady; Chi
cago is doing better; cables are dull. Not
much Barley offering; receipts are light
and the market is quiet and steady. No
Oats arrived to-day; very little changing
hands; prices are rather easy Corn re-
mains at the previous prices; none arrived
to-day; the market is weak and trading
light; very little Small Yellow here. Rye
is quiet and unchanged. No movement
in Buckwheat.
Potatoes are weak; stocks are heavy and
the demand is slow. Onions are somewhat
steadier than they have been. There are
few Cucumbers offering. but selling slowly
at $1Q2 per dozen. Mushrooms are not
selling well and are lower. Green Peas are
weaker.
The market is still well supplied with
Apples and Oranges; the former are
steady, but the latter are weak, except for
good sound stock which sells at fair fig
ures. A few Winter Nellis Pears offering
at 81 25Q1 so per box. There have been no
changes of consequence in. Dried Fruits
for a long time; the market is quiet, al
though business seems to be improving
slightly. Nuts move along slowly at pretty
much unchanged prices.
Butter has been firm for some time, and
within the past few days has advanced
slightly; stocks continue light and the de-
mand good. Cheese keeps well cleaned up
and prices rule firm. Eggs are firm and
slightly advanced, but this condition is
thought to be only temporary and reac-
ton is feared.
About the most demoralized of all mark
cts at present is the Poultry market. There
has seldom been such a glut. With two
cars of Eastern and one from Oregon this
week, besides large quantity OF Cali
1ornia stock, buyers can about name their
own figures, although the Eastern is good
stock and is being held. Dressed Turkeys
GaFeE 70 la~y 44err on
the market; nobody wants it and shippers
may as well stop shipping and save freight
charges; what is sold goes at buyers
prices.
