WHEAT is WEAK, DULL AND
DEPRESSED.
Barley Firm for Spot Goods, but
Options Are More Quiet
Oats Steady.
San Francisco. March 4th

1
! Wheat is dull, weak and depressed; fu-
lures are lower and less active; Chicago is
| lower; two part cargoes down from Port
Costa for Europe. Very little grain chang
| ing hands, owing to the fact that assess
! ments are made up on Monday. Barley is
| firm for spot goods, but options have
siumped off and are more quiet. Oats are
| steady; buyers are taking only to I'LL i'm
mediate wants holders are firm and
| prices remain unchanged. No Corn arrived
| to-day; only light trading at previous
prices.
The Hay market is rather quiet; buyers
| hold off, expecting lower prices, but hold
ers are firm and no decline is noted.
Oranges are not moving as well as they
| have been going; an auction sale of accu-
mulated stock was held yesterday, with
fair results: no sale was held by the
Exchange to-day, no fruit having been
| received. About 1000 boxes ofApples ar
rived to-day; sales are slow and prices
Butter is weak and prices have a lower
tendency our prices are full figures; re-
ceipts are too heavy for the consump-
ton; a demand is springing up from the
North, but until our market gets lower
Eastern goods are taken. Eggs are lower;
sales of store are reported at 10c; some
dealers are cold-Storing their goods.
