San FRANCISCO, May -olil'
Wheat continues dull, and export values
are nominally lower; milling descriptions
are unchanged; futures are lower and
quiet. Barley options show a further de-
cline; spot feed is very quiet; choice
bright is scarce and would bring top fig
ure Very few oats in and very few want
ed prices unchanged. Not much corn
arrived to-day; large yellow is easy; for
| mer prices rule.
Receipts were 637 chests of strawberries,
| g. 900 boxes of cherries, 80 boxes OF april
cots Our cherry receipts yesterday We're
| 900 boxes short. Currants are poor, un-
attractive and find slow sale: some were
carried over from yesterday; only few
choice bring the top price. Choice oranges
are firmer. Royal Anne cherries bring Toe
per drawer.
While the average stocks of butter are
ample for the demand, some dealers re-
port a slight scarcity; prices are un-
changed: Eastern is interfering with the
sale of native butter. Cheese is firm,
with a few sales of new at Sic. Eggs are
slow of sale and are accumuiating some
what some houses quote lower than our
figure.
