COMMERCIAL.

San Francisco, April "a.
Flour for export purposes is active, there
We're $500 barrels taken out yesterday, of
which 5000 went on the China steamer.
Wheat is inactive: the May option is
easier, but December shows a stronger
feeling; from Port Costa were received
60. 900 centals for export. Barley is easy,
and buyers are scarce, even at the lower
prices; a cargo of $4,000 centaIs is down
from Port Costa for Europe.
Choice Navel Oranges are in good de-
mand and bring better prices. Apples are
slow. More Strawberries are expected to-
morrow; the six baskets received yester-
day from Santa Clara brought 81 per bas-
ket.
Owing to a pretty good shipping demand
the stocks of Butter are not so heavy as
they Were; there is a slightly batter feeling,
but prices show no change. Cheese is NOV
ing fairly we'll at previous prices. A fair
demand for Eggs keeps the supply pretty
well cleaned up; no changes.
