THE DECLINE IN WHEAT GOES
ON UNCHECKED.
Barley Also Shows an Easier Feeling
Inquiry for Oats Continues
Very Light.
San Francisco. April 18th.

San Francisco, April fh.
The decline in wheat goes on unchecked,
and it is hard to say where it will stop;
both Eastern and local markets are con-
siderably lower; there is practically no
English demand and all in all the situation
is decidedly shaky Barley also shows an
easier feeling: there is some call for
choice grades of feed, but brewing is
neglected. Inquiry for oats is very light;
not enough doing to make a change in
prices Corn is easier for yellow but
white holds UP.
Prices for fruits are as previously quot
ed. Oranges move, but apples drag. More
Eastern apples are expected this week.
No quotable changes in butter; occa-
sional sales of creamery above the quo
tations. Eggs arrive freely but they move
off well. particularly store.
The poultry market is firm on all ex-
cept broilers Hens sell well. Receipts
were more liberal to-day, but everything
cleaned up. Indications are for four cars
of Eastern next week.
