Potatoes, Onions and vegetable.

Nearly 500 sacks of green corn arrived from
across the bay and caused very weak market
for that article, it being difficult to obtain over
81. 90 sack for the best Alameda county stock
while inferior offerings from other sections
dragged badly at 81. Choice lots OF firm toma-
toes were wanted and sold up to 81 a box but
the market overstOcked with soft stock
which was hard to move, and some leaky lots
were sold below the quotations Summer squa sln
cucumbers and green peppers continued abundant
and while the best offerings of all three articles
sold in limited way at full figures in the early
trade, dealers were trying to urge business in
the afternoon and the result was wide range in
the quotations. Pickle cucumbers were Offering
quite freely and brought 60Q75c box. Peas
beans and egg plant ruled steady, while green
okra was plentiful and easy, the demand for the
latter being limited at best. Receipts OF potatoes
were light. but ample and the market remained
slightly lower while the red variety did a little
better on decreased receipts.

Hay and Feed.tufY.

Hay merchants report a fair demand for the
choice grades, while the lower grades neg
lected. There is nothing in feedstuffs.
The circular of somers & Co. says: lowing
to the car scarcity, which is becoming
quite apparent shipments Of hay to market have
been somewhat reduced during the week, the
total showing 3,740 tons, In comparison with
4,5l0 for last week. In spite of this material
decrease we find very weak market here,
Win only the choicer grades for retail pur-
poses selling at all readily. Although 1t is a
fact that very few consumers are storing away
winters supply yet IL is undeniably true that
the consumption OF hay on the San Francisco
market is materially less than year ago. Fix
ured in this consumption is of course, the ex-
port trade both foreign and coastwise, which
ordinarily amounts to considerable, but this sea-
son is materially lessened owing TO the gen.
eral dullness Of all lines of trade along the
coast and the supplying OF our foreign markets
from Puget sound.

there is question about prices being main
tanned at an advantageous range for the pro-
ducer The bulk of the crop that is put up
for the San Francisco market has changed
hands at rather high prices, which will prob
ably mean that no decline will be in evidence
until late in the spring, If at all. The great
decrease In consumption, however. will prob
ably insure the market against any radical ad-

The market was still swamped with Bartlett
pears, which continued to pour in In a steady
stream from the river districts and long before
the river boats had finished unloading the docks
were as badly congested with the fruit as on the
preceding day. Although the leading Gamers
are working nothing but pears and run
ming their plants 10 full capacity day and night
they are unable TO keep abreast of the arrivals
and large lines of No. stock have to be sold TO
dryers at 25c a box unloaded in the open

for No. green fruit were reduced to S1O@15 a

to use them they were turned into the regular

of selected fruit in smaller packages The other
some slight improvement in Grated aprlcOts there
was little change in prices. There was a fair
range as to variety, condition, etc. There was
very little call for grapes and only limited in
quiry for neetartnes, both of which were offered
freely. There was fair trade in apples, but
with stocks heavy prices were weak and only
the fanciest lots sold readily. All kinds OF
melons were firm despite the cool weather and
early arrivals Of nutmegs and cantaloupes from
the river sold promptly at stiff prices and reeeiv
