SPOT WHEAT DULL FOR MILL

Barley Lower for Eeed-Notbing
Doing in Oats and Previous
Figures Stand.

San Francisco, June 23d.
Wheat at Chicago is higeher, and local
futures are also doing better; spot is dull
and weak for both shipping and milling.
Spot barley is lower for feed brewing is
inactive; futures opened lower, but i'm
proved later. Nothing doing in and
previous figures stand; very light receipts.
No corn arrived to-day; local trade is
quiet but there is some demand from
the country for feed purposes: the ten
dency is lower
The hay market is reported weak for
new and firm for old crop; it is simply a
question of whether the farmer can hold
out longer than the dealer; il looks like a
game of freeze out; receipts are light
and included cars from Oregon, from
Washington and 1 from Utah.
Apricots are weak and peaches are
firm. Cherries are trifie off. Black figs
sell SLOWLY; white do not move we'll. Ber-
ries are weak; raSpberries are lower A
few currantS brought $780, Lemons have
been very scarce for some days and would
bring our figures readily; growers are
shipping elsewhere. Oranges are not want
ed at all.
There is no change in the butter situa-
figures; some soft stock is still on the
market. Cheese is plentiful and weak
Eggs are weak at the old prices.
