Potatoes, Onions and Vegetables

Receipts of asparagus and rhubarb are rapidly
increasing but prices for both have thus far
been remarkably steady. as in addition to the
demand for local there is a good move
ment in shipping channels which absorbs tbe
surplus from day to day. Arrivals of tender
garden vegetables limited to oecas asonal small
part of the state, which ind ready sale at high
prices when of good quality. Local garden truck
is plentiful and there enough Mexican toma-
toes on hand 10 satisfy the limited wants of the
trade. The potato market is moderately active
and all kinds of Burbanks strong at rising
prices. The market IS practically bare OF early
rose. garnet chiles peerless and other deserfu-

Beans and seeds

Lima beans sare now quoted steadier The
other descriptions firm, white kinds espe-

The bean report ,of Adolf Koshland SAYS
1.-The bean market shows no change since last
week. being quiet with firm prices. The stocks
hand are not very heavy, except lima beans
which are more plentiful than usual at this
time of the year. Shipments Of 1imas during
February were quite heavy At the same time
growers do not like present prices aud there is
considerable talk of the formation of a lima
bean growers association, whose object 1t would
be to control the selling price of their product
Whether such a proposition would meet with
success under the existing conditions remains to
be seen.
White beans remain very strong and show n
slight upward tendency. Bayos are also very
strong. The stock of this variety is quite

Hay and Feedstuns

The advance in bran and shorts up north
mentioned yesterday, places those markets about
draws much oI its supplies from the north, such
4 difference tends TO put u stop to receipts from
those sources. For that matter, we nave re-
ceiyed very little bran and shorts from the
north for SOME time
Rolled barley is higher Other feedstuffs
with daily sales at top prices. Receipts are
running light again
The circular of Somers & Co. says: Trading
in hay has been very active during the last week
demands being heavy and being supplied only
with difficulty. Receipts at San Francisco were
., 800 tons, somewhat less than during the pre-
cedlng week The principal activity is in the
country inquiries coming from all directions and
from places that have never before sent here
for prices Prospects for the immediate future
have not changed, the general opinion among
those interested in the trade being that with
economy there will be enough hay to last through n
the season. although we will probably see an
advance In prices Of from S1M2 a ton.
Much first cutting alfalfa is coming in from
the San Joaquin valley, and as the demand is
limited prices this line have weakened some
