WHEAT rs QUITE FIRM AT AN
ADVANCE.
Barley Higher and Spot Active
Oats Steady, but the Market
Not Active.

San Francisco, April 23d.
At the rate that Wheat is going up a
further advance in Flour can be looked
for almost any day. Wheat is quite firm
at an advance for both spot and futures
millers are buying very sparingly at the
present high prices. Barley is higher;
spot is active, and there is little activity
in options Oats are steady; the market
is not active, and prices are unchanged.
Germ is quiet; there is not much spot Of
| fering; consumers are waiting for the
cheaper Eastern Corn under the lower
freight rate; considerable is being brought
to arrive at less than our figures.
The Hay market is rather soft; the mar
ket is not exactly lower but it seems as
| though prices were rushed up too quick
ly; trade is more quiet.
Receipts, of Cherries were SO boxes and of
Strawberries Is chests. Strawberries held
up to yesterdays prices, Notwithstanding g
the heavier receipts; on any day but Sat
urday the market would have dropped.
Cherries bring 75cQ$1 per box; few white
sold lower.
Butter is not quotably lower, but the
| market is top-heavy and decline is in
evitable. Cheese is steady. Store Eggs
are lower; the market is slow; the quality
is showing poor, owing to warm weather.
