| From Port Costa were received 5000 bar
rels of flour for Sydney. Spot wheat is
unchanged; none offering to speak of; fu-
lures are higher; reports from the grain
sections give the Salinas and the San Joa-
quin Valleys an average of three-quarters
Of an inch of rain during the twenty-four
hours ending at a. m. to-day. Barley
lis stronger; spot feed is no higher, but it
is firmly held: options made gain OF
several cents on the strength of the
bright weather to-day; part cargo down
from Port Costa for Sydney. Oats are
still quiet; previous prices rule No change
in corn.
Not much hay arrived and the market
is quite strong; prices were no higher; as
high as SIS per ton is being bid for new
oat hay in the country; hay prospects are
exceedingly bright. Bran and middings
arrive sparingly. but there is not mucn
demand: prices are unchanged.
Strawberries from Mountain View
brought rs cents per basket; ten baskets
brought 81 50. Nothing new in apples and
oranges: slow sale for both.
Ample supply of butter and market Is
about steady although some dealers re-
port it weaker. Eggs are firm, with
sales of ranch higher than our figures;
store are pretty well cleaned up,
