San francisco. Mar. 12tl

San Francisco, Mar 18TH
wheat market is tame and dull; prices
are unchanged: a cargo down to-day
from Port Costa for export; futures are
lower No changes in Barley for spot
goods; futures have declined; fair Offer
ing5 of dark grades, but bright is very
scarce. Nothing doing in Oats; market
is steady at the recent advance. Corn is
dull; prices are rather weak, owing to
the Eastern article, which governs the
market
Hay is very firm at advanced prices
sales are reported even higher than our
figures. No changes in Feedstuffs.
Nine cars of Oranges arrived to-day,
two being for auction on Monday. Fan
cy Apples are rather firmer; cold storage
stock is being put on the market, but 1t
is held for better than our prices. A
fresh lot of Mexican Lines has arrived,
but they are not yet on the market. Dried
Fruit Is quiet; Prunes are lower.
Butter and cheese are unchanged. Some
demand is on for Butter for the north
the local market being lower than the
Eastern market; this is causing slightly
steadier feeling. Store Eggs are well
cleaned up and prices are quite steady;
Ranch are in ample supply.
