San Francisco, March 5th.
Wheat is duh at unchanged prices; a
| weaker tone 10 the speculative market; a
cargo down from Port Costa for South
Africa, and another to-day for the same
destination. Barley is quiet; no changes
in prices; options opened stronger. There
is slightly better feeling in oats at the
old prices, an advance is expected short
ly; receipts were small to-day The pres
ence of Eastern corn on the market keeps
the local article down; very little doing;
receipts included 1900 centals of East
ern.
Hay has finally declined. excepting for
compressed which is scarce and firmer.
Corn products are higher. Bran and mid
dlings are unchanged.
Some fancy apples in large boxes bring
more than our top prices; trash sells even
lower than the inside quotations. Good
demand for fancy oranges, both navels
and seedlings.
Stocks of butter are increasing, and
prices are declining daily; there is great
pressure to sell and buyers prices pre-
vail: the demand for cheap butter pulls
down the choice grades. Cheese is weak
and is lower. Eggs are coming in freely
and at low prices they move well; the
market is weak.
