San Francisco, May 18th.
The Chicago market closed lower and
calls locally were very quiet and easier;
spot is unchanged, dull and weak; the
market has a downward tendency. Barley
is unchanged: options neglected. there has
been sort of holiday feeling to the market
for some time. Oats are very dull, and in
stead of improving, the market has a lower
tendency: the Puget Sound Oats coming
here are of the medium grades; anything
fancy would bring more than quotations.
Some of the Straw berries coming in are
very poor and have to go below our inside
figures; choice are higher. A few boxes of
Pears are offering; they are small and not
ripe. The Apples coming in are also too
green. New Figs have arrived from Yuma,
A. T.. they brought 60c per 10. Currants
and Gooseberries move slowly. No Black
berries in to-day.
Butter is steady at previous prices; fancy
rolls are scarce but other kinds are in
ample supply, though there is no great eX-
cess Cheese rules firm at the quotations.
ANYTHING but choice ranch Egg is hard
to SELL common California are neglected
for Eastern; some culled Eastern sell down
produce Quotations.
