Potatoes. onions and yeretab,e.

The potato market remains in fair to good
shape, with current receipts just about sufhcien;
TO keep the trade well supplied, and the recently
revised quotations are maintained without diff.
Guilty from day to day. There is good shippinic
business in progress between Stockton and points
outside OF the state, which checks Shipments of
river goods to this market. and the receipts from
other sources are less liberal than before. New
potatoes do not cut much figure in the receipts
as yet, as consignments not coming to hand
regularly. Two cars of Oregon onions were al
hand yesterday, causing slightly lower market
for that article.
As was expected. receipts of asparagus and
bay rhubarb were quite heavy, a little over 150
boxes OF each coming to hand. Prices for botl,
were lower, there Icing particularly sharp drop
in asparagus. A few scattering sa les of the 10 =
ter reported at 25c pound In the early
trade, but there was barely enough sold at tbat
figure to justify such quota tion 20c being tn,

CHICAGO BOARD of TRADE
Future Grain and Provisions

CHICAGO, March 10.-The wheat market was
very nervous all day The government report
on farm reserves left traders in an undecided
frame Of mind, but the prevailing opinion
seemed to be that the report was an aid to
the bears The market was also bearishly
affected by the weakness of foreign markets
and by excellent weather in the southwest for
the fall sown crop. The market closed weak
and near the bottom price. May opened nc
lower to asc higher at 951 @96Ac, sold Off to
93Ac and closed at 935s d93Ac.
Corn was strong all day active buying by
shorts and commission houses. Small farm re-
serves, firm cables. and light receipts were the
main reasons for the demand.
May opened ls@%c higher at 64@e4ssc sold
at 649sc and then advanced to 65&4c. The close
was at 65G651sc.
Trade in oats light, but the market was
firm. May opened &c higher at 53asc, sold at
SO 14c. and then advanced to 54c. The close
at $3.50.
Provisions were weak on account Of liberal
receipts of live hogs at western packing CEN
ters. At the close May pork was OF 5Ql71ac
Lard was down l25aGl5c. Ribs were &c lower.
The leading futures ranged follows:

Hay and FeedstufYs

Quotations for both hay and feedstufs have
remained unchanged for some time. Bran, shorts
and middings are still scarce and there Is suf-
hcient demand to more than absorb all current
arrivals. The circular of Somers & Co. says Of
hay:
There has been little increase in hay ship
ments during the week ending today, the total
tons Tor last week In spite of these rather
heavy arrivals, the market has maintained its
prices can be reported. There is somewhat bet
ter feeling among the various merchants, who
although they can as yet report no increase in
the volume of trade most of them seem TO an
ticipate early improvement This hope alone
II II becomes general, will result in improved
conditions, and as the hay business is particu-
larly sensitive to general trade conditions we
may reasonably anticipate better condition Of
affairs here in the near future.
II is rather gratifying to learn that stocks
are being rapidly reduced throughout the country.
for, IN spite of the recent depression, most of
the principal hay centers report rather free ship
nents to many points throughout the interior
Tits is good evidence that the state is steadily
growing and that many districts that a short
time ago produced hay have now become con-
sumers for this particular product The aggre-
gate demand from these interior towns has been
Considerable and has assisted materially in re-
lieying the San Francisco market of what might
otherwise have proved most burdensome over
supply
as grain values are very well maintained it is
to be expected at the moment that the grain
crop Will be most excellent one and the hay
crop one of good quality and probably not too
abundant

Butter, Cheese and Eggs

Butter and eggs are still coming forward freely
from nearly all producing districts and there Is
-au oyersupply OF both articles. as the market is
dependent almost entirely upon the city con-
sumption for business which is unusually quiet
at the moment Dealers are figuring on q brisk
shipping demand from Puget sound cities and
seem TO expect that this business will do much
toward diminishing the heavy supplies, but there
will be no steamer leaving before Friday and
stocks are accommodating in the meantime. Prices
for fresh butter and the upper grades OF eggs
were unchanged yesterday but were inclined 30
easiness. The dairy exchange has withdrawn all
quotations for storage butter. as stocks In the
cehouses are small and there is very little doing
in them any how.

change:

LOCAL MARKETS
San Francisco Money Market


The local money market, which has been very
tame and colorless of late is showing more fea-
ture again. The banks say that certain drift
OF eastern money into this market for invest
ment in loans is appearing, though the move
ment is light and of an incipient character
Still, it is beginning. The tide toward us
would be more active, but high interest rates in
the east are keeping the money there as a rule
There is also considerable disposition among de-
positors in our local banks to Withdraw some of
their funds for loanng real estate but the
banks are obliged TO exercise more or less re-
straint on this class of business
While the banks have all the funds they need
for current business requirements money in gem
eral is still tight. though the tightness is not Of
an acute character. Mercantile collections In
most lines are reported slow. Rates for COM
mercial and real estate loans remain as hereto
fore.
There were no changes In exchange yesterday
The whole exchange market is reported extremely
dull. Silver was &c lower
The Siberia took. out treasure list of $780,
