The Government is out with another call for
bids on 1882 tons of Hay, deliverable at san
Francisco Seattle Tacoma Portland, the
bids TO be opened April 10 This imparts re-
newed strength to the market and with the
lighter receipts offsets the recent depression
on account of the copious rains But there
is still a large quantity in the railroad yards,
accumulated during the recent storm. and un-
til that is cleared away there Is very little
chance for the market to strengthen. Prices
remain unchanged

Butter, Cheese and Eggs.

Receipts Of Eggs suddenly ran up ysstsr-
day as will be seen but they are still about
25433 per cent smaller than last year at this
time. The local demand is heavy, there is a
brisk shipping movement to the north and
spectators are still in the field for stock to
store. Under these conditions Eggs cannot
very well help advancing and prices were
about 1c better yesterday, with the market
very firm
The tone of the Butter market remained
unchanged. Receipts continued to show an in
crease. as trains were coming In more freely,
but the demand was good and there was no
accumulation
The depression in Cheese continues. It has
prevailed for long time now and the whole
salers are heartily tired Of IT, Stocks are
still away over the markets capacity.

DeciduouS and Citrus Fruits.

Trading in Oranges was quite active owing
TO the clearer weather, but supplies were stlll
far in excess of the demand and conditions still
favored buyers. who took advantage of the low
prices and purchased freely. The outlook for
better prices is gloomy. supplies the way
to this market are large, ten cars being sched-
uled for to-days auction. The other Citrus
fruits were in free supply and featureless and
Bananas and Pineappies were unchanged. The
steamer Sonoma brought up 1895 punches of
Bananas and % crates Pineapples.
Strictly fancy Apples firm and some
dealers Were asking 50 % for the best New
town Pippins. but sales at that figure were
rare. Ordinary fancy fruit was steady while
common and the choice grades were neglected
as peddlers and small dealers were working
almost exclusively on Oranges
