San Francisco, April 18th.
The Produce Exchange having adj
journed until Monday, the quotations for
Grains, Cereals, etc, are omitted.
Peas still drag, and poor Rhubarb also
finds slow sale. New Potatoes were in
very light receipt but prices did not i'm
prove there being a lot left from previous
days.
Oranges and Lemons continue firm
stocks are greatly reduced on both.
Choice Lemons are higher. Another car
of Eastern Apples has arrived. About 5
chests of Strawberries arrived to-day;
some were rather green.
With the exception of decline in Eggs
there were no changes in dairy produce.
Liberal receipts and lighter Easter de-
mand than expected has weakened the Egg
market. The last car of Eastern are still
in cold storage, and another car is due here
on Monday.
Old Ducks, old Hens and Geese are hard
to move, but young stock rules firm and
sells we'll Next week there will be at
least three cars of Eastern offered the
first will be on the marKet Monday morn
ing.
