The Oregon steamer arrived with 0047 sks Po- tatoes and 676 sks Onions, none of which were offered for sale. Small Burbanks for seed are plentiful and dull. Early Rose are showing more activity. Only 10 sks of New Potatoes were recelved from across the bay and these sold readily at the quotations, but eome offer- ings from San Mateo sold from 214@dc per Ib. Sweets were firmly held at the quoted price. There is nothing new to report in Onfons. Although Asparagus and Rhubarb _were lower, the demand showed little improvement. There was some little demand for shipping, but not enough to relieve the market to any ex- tent. Owing to the recent rain, receipts of bay peas were light and prices were higher. Los Angeles Peas were also higher. Other Vegeta- bles stood about the same. Recelpts were 9 sks and 6 bxs from Los Angeles and 435 bxs Asparagus, 524 Rhubarb and 94 sks Peas from the Bay and River.
