San Francisco March 18TH
Shipping Wheat is lower and decidedly
dull; there is no foreign demand; re-
ceipts are light. Milling Wheat is scarce
and firmly held at the quotations. Barley
is steady, with continued light receipts
and scarcity of choice bright feed; occa-
sional sales are made at 73a4c. The Eng
lish demand for brewing is falling off,
but it is probably only temporary Oats
are stationary at yesterdays advance.
Potatoes continue rather weak; liberal
supplies of late have kept prices down.
The same may be said of Onions. AS
paragus is in lighter receipt and prices
are steadier; receipts were $40 boxes
Peas go begging, some selling as low as
81 and 81 % per sack; receipts, 392 sacks
Rhubarb is still very weak. Very few
Tomatoes in market
Apples attract little attention; they are
becoming scarcer. The Orange market is
now in good shape good Seedlings are
scarce and in demand; Navels are also in
light supply and move we'll; frozen stock
Is not so plentiful as it was; there were
ABOUT ], 200 boxes in by steamer yeSter-
day and one car to-day Lemons are very
dull and the light receipts are all that
maintains prices. No further changes in
Dried Fruits; trading at a standstill.
cI9at Butter continues % weak, particularly
IS tending that way. A slight increase in
the receipts of Cheese is noticeable Eggs
are steady; the prevailing figure for. store
stlll made at 1212c
