WHEAT MARKET STRONGER AND

Firm Feeling in Barley.
San Francisco, May 9Th


Wheat is stronger and more active.
Better foreign advices and unfavorable
crop reports from the East have sent the
local market up. Shipping grades are,
in consequence, higher, but millerS Will
not pay more than quoted prices Fu-
lures are very active and show material
gains. A firm feeling in Barley; the mar
ket is strong at slightly advanced prices
for choice bright feed; options are also
higher. Brewing Barley is more active
locally than it has been of late. No Oats
nor Corn arrived to-day both are quite
steady, though not very active.
The first Blackberries were ceceived to-
day from Covina, Los Angeles County.
They brought 20c per basket. Gooseberries
arrived from Napa; they are too small, and
sold for soc per drawer. Receipts of Straw
berries We're 757 chests; at the ruling
prices the market should clean up readily,
but it does not. The proportion OF ripe
Cherries coming in is very small as COM
pared with the green; 80 boxes arrived to-
day.
Excepting a slight advance in Eggs there
are no changes TO report in dairy produce.
The Butter market, however, is shaping
toward still better prices. slight ac-
cumulation of Cheese is noticeable, but
prices are not disturbed.
