Tend of Prices.
San Francisco. April 29d.

San Francisco, April 23d
Wheat has advanced considerably and
the market is quite firm; speculative val
ues are soaring and the market is very
active and excited. Flour is quite firm
in consequence of the advance in Wheat
but it is not actually higher. Barley fol-
lows in the train of Wheat and is also
higher for feed; a continuance of dry
weather will cause further advances; OPP
lions also show advances. Oats still tend
upward; trading is quite active; none ar
rived to-day. Corn is quite firm at the
previous figures. Rye is moving more
freely.
Sixteen chests of Strawberries in to-
day: they sold about the same as yester-
day. Eastern Apples are selling well; the
last car was choice stock.
Butter and Cheese are steady at I'M
changed prices. Stocks are not heavy
and, if anything, the market is in better
condition. Choice Eggs are moving, but
poor stock hangs.
Poultry is weak and some kinds are
lower. Receipts We're not heavy, but
there is very little wanted. There will be
more Eastern on the market Monday
produce Quotations.
