stronger Eastern and foreign markets
nave put better tone to the local Wheat
market; futures opened lower, but sub
sequently improved: spot trading has been
very light; not enough doing in shipping
10 make a quotation. Barley is lower Tor
spot; the market has been very slow; fu-
lures opened lower to-day, but advanced
later. There has been a very quiet Oat
market during the week, and prices were
lower; at the moment the market Is
steady; receipts have been light. Practi-
cally all the Corn that has been received
during the week has been Eastern; the
market is inactive, though an improve
ment, both in business and prices, is ex-
pected
Both Bran and Middlings are lower; re-
ceipts of Bran to-day were 12,O61 sacks
nearly all from the north. The HAY mar
ket has been weak, particularly for new
Hay; consumers have been holding off fol
lower prices; owing to the lighter receipts
to-day the market was stronger than II
was yesterday. Two cars of Oregon straw
arrived to-day, but We're not sold at tht
regular sale.
The recent high prices for Apricots has
caused large shipments, and in conSe-
quence the market is crowded and prices
have dropped; they will probably have tc
clean up TO the Gamers at low prices
Peaches have ruled firm, the supply being
moderate; baskets bring more than boxes
at present. Best PlumS are firm and bring
good prices. Longworth Strawberries are
scarce and command good prices; Black
and RaspberrieS are weak, the supply
being too large; cannerieS took Raspber-
ries at So to-day. The market is crowded
With common Oranges, which so for any
price; our figures are for the better
stock; the auction system is again being
resorted to in order to relieve the mar
ket.
There has not been much activity ir
Dried Fruits, the market being pretty wei
cleaned up; with the exception Of Prunes

new crop, and a good market may be
expected. OF the two fruits mentioned
there will be full crops. The speculative
feature for new crop has not been as
strong as in former years.
The Butter market has been literally
stocked and prices have had a downward
course; very little packing is being done
in the country; considerable soft Butter
is arriving which cannot be packed and
has to sell low Eggs are not selling; the
market is lower on both ranch and store;
buyers are taking Eastern Eggs.
