San Francisco, February 18th.
Wheat continues dull; the market is
rather soft; to-day's receipts were light;
Chicago market is weak and the local
speculative market is lower. Oats move
slowly at previous prices; receipts were
liberal. Corn is weak and inactive; an
other lot of 1850 centals arrived from Ne
braska.
The Potato market is weak and drag
ging; over 5000 sacks were received from
the North to-day, and the receipts from all
sources were L, ,232 sacks. Oregon Onions
are quite firm; stocks are light. Asparagus
is weak and lower; in fact the whole list
shows a weak feeling.
Prices are unchanged. Apples are fairly
steady. Oranges are still weak; five cars
arrived to-day, besides 1900 boxes by
coast steamers. Nothing new in Dried
Fruits and Nuts; markets quiet and slow.
Butter is somewhat easier. Cheese is
still firm. Eggs are easy and the demand
is lighter; prices are no lower, although
tending that way.

which are firm The Eastern on hand is
in good shape and doing well. Game is
