Shipping Wheat Lower and Decidedly
Easy Milling Firm.
Spot Barley Quiet and steady-specu-
lative Market Weaker, Though
More Active.
San Francisco. February 27th.


Shipping Wheat is lower and decidedly
easy. Milling continues firm and is not
plentiful; as high as 81 3212 is asked for
some extra choice. Little doing in the local
speculative market. Chicago is weak Tx
port business has been rather quiet for
the past week or more: the Australian
demand has been pretty well satisfied ana
the European demand is light; the last
cargo cleared from here was on the l9th
instant. Spot Barley is quiet and STEADY;
the speculative market is weaker and more
active; for quite a while there was scarcely
anything done on call. Oats are still dull
at yesterdays decline; to-day's receipts
We're but go centals
Potatoes and Onions continue weak;
new Potatoes are firmer. Bay Peas are
weaker Rhubarb is lower; there were 300
boxes in to-day. Very few Mushrooms
arrived to-day and they sold considerably
higher. Asparagus is weak and lower,
2o3 boxes arrived to-day. CucumberS are
sun IN light supply and move slowly
Butter continues easy with lower ten
dency in prices Cheese at the moment is
steady and stocks keep pretty well cleaned
up, but the receipts will increase shortly
ana lower figures will prevail Eggs CON
are few dealers who are trying TO main
tain prices, and who still obtain 12c Tor
store and 14c for ranch Eggs, but the ma
9crlty of dealers are weakening, ana con-
sequently the low prices prevail
