QUITE A SLUMP in THE WHEAT
MARKET.
Barley Easier and Feed Lower-Oats
Continue Quiet and Corn
Steady.
San Francisco. April 9th.


There was quite slump in Wheat to-
day, both in the Eastern and local mar
kets; spot grain was also lower. During
the week the hot winds throughout the
State and higher Chicago and foreign
markets gave the local market quite
lift, but the subsequent change in the
weather has eased the situation. Barley
is easier, following the lead of Wheat. and
Feed is lower; Brewing continues nomn-
al; options have declined land are quiet.
Oats continue quiet; as previously stated,
there are very few beside Puget Sound
Oats in the market at present. During
the week Yellow Corn advanced and the
market is quite steady.
Receipts Of Straw berries are heavier;
there were about 40 chests in to-day
and prices are again lower; the major
ity come in baskets; a few loose in
drawers bring more than outside quota
lions. Choice Navel Oranges are not
plentiful; good Seedlings are in demand;
receipts are light, but still enough for the
demand. Mexican Lines are quite
scarce and firm.
Butter remains unchanged and rather
steady; considerable has been packed and
not weaken. Cheese is in moderate sup
ply; prices are sustained, although the
inquiry Is rather slow Eggs arrive free
ly, but a lot are being preserved and the
market thus keeps fairly well cleaned up:
some common sell as low as Zoe.
