San Francisco, May 22d.
Wheat on call opened higher, with trad
ing more active in sympathy with sharp
advance in the Chicago market. The To-
cal spot market was steady, but un-
changed. Shippers Were seemingly in
different to the speculative advance, and
as it was a holiday in England, as to-
to excite the market from that quarter.
Barley was very dull Holders of spot
lots asked firm prices, but did not OBJ
tain them as far as known. Receipts for
cluding $50 centals Malt and 250 Rolled
Barley Oats We're quiet and steady Re-
ceipts were 1,21O centals, including $40
centals from oregon. Corn was quiet.
Receipts were 900 centals Eastern.
Hay market shows little change Bran
and Middling prices well maintained.

crate, San Leandro at 60G75c per drawer
and Bouldin Island at 6oc per drawer
Blackberries were weaker at $3.50 per
crate. Green Apples were steady at 60Q

from Vacaville Most of the sales We're at
$1.50Q1.75 per box but a box of extra large
from the Morgenstern & Milzner place
brought 81. Peaches came in rather green
and could not be sold above s1.5O per box.
Some Cherry Plums were received, but
they were too hard to sell. Gooseberries
in bulk were slightly lower. Logan ber-
ries were offering at S1O412 per chest.

Fancy Creamery Butter is now more
firmly held at an advance, as most of
that coming in is falling off in quality.
Cheese is weak for new and Young Amer
lea. Eggs are steady and unchanged.
