San Francisco, May 22d.
In sympathy with higher Eastern mar
kets local speculative values have ad-
vanced; futures are not very active. Bar
ley options are easier, and spot feed is also
shaded fraction. Oats are inactive at the
old familiar prices Corn is rather weak
for large Yellow and steady on other
kinds; market is quiet.
Receipts were 744 chests of Strawber-
ries and 4,4S4 boxes of Cherries. Pringle
Apricots are still small and green; they are
held at 81 25 per box. A few boxes of new
Green Apples arrived, but they are not
worth quoting. No Blackberries in. Very
few Cherries brought over 50c the major
ity of the Blacks are too green; choice ripe
sell readily.
Stocks of Butter are still large particu-
larly on Creamery prices show no quotable
changes; the market is rather weak Eggs
are steady for choice ranch; such are none
too plentiful and are wanted, while COM
mon grades are plentiful and easy.
Poultry receipts were light and prices
are not disturbed. Young boosters are in
very limited supply and bring fancy figures
for small sales.
