COM MERCIAL.
WHEAT LOWER IN SAN FRAN
CISCO MARKET.
Spot Barley Unchanged, Though
Futures Are Lower-Decline
in Oat Prices.

San Francisco, May 9th.
Wheat is lower; options opened strong,
but following a sharp decline at Chicago
the local market slumped; spot is entire
ly nominal A sample of new feed barley
was received to-day by NJ. Blum from
Germantown, Glenn County; it is plump
and looks we'll. Spot barley is unchang-
ed; futures opened lower. Oats are low
er, following the decline in other grains;
the market is inactive. Corn is quiet;
previous prices stand; to-day's receipts
1900 centals-were all from the East.
No changes in bran and middlings;
markets weak. Hay is quite steady at
the old prices; the only outside hay re-
ceived to-day was one car from Oregon.
The first peaches of the season were
received to-day from Vacaville. There
were two boxes of AlexanderS; they were
quite green and brought 81 % per box.
Apricots of good size would bring good
prices; they are wanted. The cherries
and apricots thus far received have been
small. Strawberries did better, Receipts
were 457 chests of berries, 3,041 boxes of
cherries, 364 boxes of apricots, 81 crates
of raSpberrieS.
There is considerable butter here, and
the market is weak, with prices tending
downward; the demand is slack Ranch
eggs are weak and store are firm; ranch
move very slowly.
