ANOTHER ADVANCE IN PRICE
OF FLOUR.
Wheat Makes an Upward Jump Of
Four Cents-BarIey is Also
Higher and Oats Firm.
San Francisco, April 22d


AS long as the Wheat market continues
to advance Flour must take a similar
course. Another advance of 20c per barrel
has been made; the advanced price look
effect this morning. This makes an ad-
vance of 75c per barrel since the 9Th IN
stant. Wheat made big jump, owing TO
firmer cables and short crop reports; May
Wheat opened 4 cents higher to-day ana
December 8 cents; spot is very firm. Bar
ley has also advanced; December opened
2 cents higher; spot is held even higher
than our figure. Oats are very strong,
with All advancing tendency, notwith-
standing liberal arrivals from the North.
All of to-day's Corn was from the East,
but as it came under the old freight rate
the market is not affected.
The Hay market has been weakened
under too heavy receipts and SLACK
demand; the weakness seems to be
chiefly with the. choice grades. Straw IS
again higher and is quite scarce.
No Cherries arrived yesterday or to-day
Some BlackberrieS are expected to-mor-
row. Fewer Strawberries arrived to-day,
and the small variety did better. Apples
sell slowly; about the only fancy here are
cold storage stock. The island steamer
brought 2l00 packages of Bananas, Dut
no PIneapples
The two boxes of Cherries shipped from
Vacaville to Chicago brought $40 per box.
There is movement. on foot by the
berry growers of the Pajaro Valley to Is
tablish an auction bureau in this city Tor
the disposal of their berries, instead Of
shipping to commission houses, as at pres
ent.
Butter is moving slower under the ad-
vanced prices, and some dealers are Shad-
ing; decline is very probable, as the hign
prices have stopped much of the northern
demand and also packing, and the only
outlet is our local market. Eggs are still
weak, ranch are a fraction lower.
