WHEAT QUIET ON SPECULATIVE
ACCOUNT.
Though Offerings of Barley Are Lib
erai, the Demand is Light
Oats Fairly Active.
San Francisco. March 9th.


Wheat has been quiet on speculative ac-
count; shippers are slow TO pay quoted
prices and quotations are rather nominal
[ miilers buy only to supply immediate
wants; part cargo down from Port Costa
for Europe. The Barley market has been
lifeless during the week both for spot and
speculative goods; offerings have been lib
eral, but the demand is lacking: from Port
Costa were received - 600 centals for Eu-
| rope. Oats have been fairly active; the
market has been steady: to-day's receipts
amounted TO $500 centals, all from Wash
ington; shipments from the East have
ceased. The only feature of the Corn mar
ket has been a stronger feeling in Yellows,
particularly large, which has advanced
no more Eastern coming in.
During the week Apple receipts have
peen very llSht; stocks are much reduced
ana prices are firm; good stock is in de-
mand. Liberal receipts of Oranges during
the Week; large sizes OF NaVeiS are plenti-
tul, Dut medium sizes are scarce and want
ed; prices show no changes and are quite
steady; some Navels sell below the inside
quotation. Large receipts, Of Central
American Bananas during the week, and
they meet with ready sale.
Butter and Cheese declined during the
week and markets are weak. Too much
Square Butter continues to be Made, and it
brings no more than rolls; stocks are more
than ample for all needs. Cheese is accu-
mulatlng; receipts are not heavy, but
week Eggs arrived rather sparingly and
prices had hardening tendency, with
sales OF ranch up to 14c: receipts seem to
De on the increase again and there is a
slightly easier feeling.
