San Francisco, March 9th.
To-day's receipts of flour were 16 ,236
quarter sacks, including 800 from Ore
gon and 1856 from Washington. There is
a good export demand. The wheat mar
ket was firmer, as the rain did not
amount to much, and Chicago prices had
a sharp advance. The Chicago rise was
caused by a good shipping demand, 5Oo,-
600 bushels being taken to-day for export
and damage to the crop in Michigan be-
ing reported by 800 correspondents Many
shorts were filled on this news. In the
local market Call Board prices had a
sharp advance. Spot wheat was held
firmer, but the prices were unchanged
and shippers appeared Indifferent. Barley
on call had brisk movement and spot
lots were more firmly held, but the sam
pie trade was dull Receipts of barley
were 1850 centals, including $50 centals
from Washington. Oats were firm, but
very inactive. Receipts were 1,345 CEN
tails, including $40 centals, of which 500
centals We're roie so, oarley from Madshl Pe-
ceipts We're 1886 centals, including $40 CEN
tails Eastern corn.
Receipts Of hay to-day were a1s tons.
of which ZIG tons came from Oregon.
Holders are asking firm prices, but the
market is rather. quiet, as buyers are pur-
chasing sparingly. Bran and middlings
continue to be firmly sustained. Receipts
of bran to-day were 1855 sacks, including
436 sacks from Oregon and 1,700 sacks
from Washington. Receipts of middlings
were ], 130 sacks. including lbs sacks Ore
gon and IS sacks Washington.
Most dealers agree that the orange
market is dull. Plenty Of stock is on
thing extra fancy. Choice apples meet
with fair demand at steady prices. Com
mon and trashy kinds are in over sup
ply and hard to sell. Mexican lines are
practically out of market and quotations
are nominal Some have been sold as high
as $40 per box; Supplies are expected by
steamer due March 10TH A total of only
661 lunches bananas arrived on the two
steamers from Honolulu. Good ripe fruit
is in demand at firm prices
Butter still has a weak tone. The
cheaper grades are accommodating and are
hard to sell. The showers have greatly
improved the feed and larger supplies are
expected. Cheese is steady at the quo
tafions. Eggs are in fair demand, but
supplies are ample and prices are barely
steady Occasional sales of strictly fancy
ranch are made at slightly above the
Produce Quotations.
