SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.

transacted. In grain and flour general quiet
prevails, nor is there likely to be any improve
| ment until better rates can be obtained in the
| English market, buyers for export to the Uni
| ted Kingdom on orders being limited as to
price, few being willing to purchase and ship
on owners account at present prices of grain.
There is at present in this harbor nearly 90
600 tons of disengaged grain vessels, with a
larger number Of ships on the way than at
| any previous time this year. Freights are now
ruling at 81 5s(t 81 is Cd for first-class grain
ships to ports direct and it is not likely there
will be any advance in rates for some time to
come
The following items from the CAL in regard
to our fast increasing population may be in
interesting to our readers:
"The through passenger business of the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad for May was the largestin
the history of the road. The arrivals dur
the month numbered 12,7l6, and the de-
partures 3, 704, which affords quite a contrast
to the movement for the same month last year
when 1868 through passengers arrived by rail
and 1865 left. The steamships last month
brought us 2,545 passengers, including 1912
from China and Japan, LIZ from Panama, III
from Australia, and 1l5 from British Column
bia; and took away 100, including 326 for
China and Japan, and PSI for Panama. The
total arrivals by both routes numbered l5,26l,
and the total departures 4,494, making an ag-
gregate gain for the coast of 10,767."
Receipts of new crop wheat to date have
been light, and the demand is equally So
Prices are unchanged though firm. There has
been slight advance in the Liverpool mar
ket which has had tendency to strengthen
this and nothing more.
Flour is steady at prices long quoted and in
fair demand both for export and home con-
sumption. Barley is without change in price
Offerings of new are only moderate and the
market without animation. Oats are firm with
fair inquiry but light stock; the market is
partly supplied from Oregon. Corn is without
al ,.rf,. .tN bot
cient to meet all present demands. Buckwheat
is firm but in limited supply and fair prices
are obtainable. Rye is in fair supply, but
with light demand, and prices remain as for
some weeks past. The old crop of pota-
toes is nearly exhausted. New are arriving
freely, and the market is gradually weakening
in prices. The old crop of onions are entirely
out of market and new are plenty and cheap.
The market is nearly bare of hops. Receipts
of wool have fallen of very materially and al
though sales have been large yet the present
tendency is to lower prices-the market East
showing weakness. Prices realized for the
bulk of the Spring clip to date have been fair,
giving satisfaction to producers. The general
quality of the clip has been above the average
for the season. Fall wool is in light stock, |
and being poor and undesirable has been |
much neglected, consequently working off but |
slowly even at the extreme low prices at which |
it is offered. Dairy produce has been coming |
in quite freely because the demand was good |
and fair prices obtanable but with supplies |
constantly arriving from the East by rail, the |
prices of butter and eggs have declined slight
ly. Receipts of fruit of seasonable varieties
are increasing daily, and for most all kinds
there is an active demand, and goodp prices are
realized
