SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.

! The market for the week under review has
been without special animation, though the
whole volume of trade has been up to the
usual average for the season. The outlook as
to the prospect of the crops has much i'm
proved in nearly all the grain growing as well
as fruit districts, as we gather from the latest
reports and from a general summing up OF
the results we may predict in all respects a
t,Co-third crop, which, to say the least, is much
better than the best authority was able to pre-
dict during the month of April. The bes in
formed place the estimate of the surplus wheat
of the State at $50 900 tons and the surplus for
the Coast at 100000 tons. Though quite early,
yet harvesting of both barley and wheat has
been commenced in several counties in this
State. The tide of immigration still continues
to flow in upon us, the arrivals for the past
month of May footing up about 5000 persons.
Wheat receipts continue light, and prices
have shaded off slightly from last weeks quo
tations. Flour is is in fair demand both for ey-
port and for home consumption; prices steady.
Barley has been quite active for the week
at unchanged rates. Oats are firm
with fair inquiry but light stock; the
market is partly supplied from Oregon. Corn
is without essential change in price, stock light
but sufficient to meet all present demands
Buckwheat is firm but in limited supply, and
fair prices are obtainable. Rye is scarce, but
with light demand. The old crop of pota
freely, are in active request, and bring good
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 off 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. Fail 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 Obtainable, 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 good prices are
realized
WHEAT.-Thc market is quite dull and in
active. There has been slight falling off in
prices, which favors the buyers somewhat, but
there will not probably be any particular
movement until the offering of the new crops
on the market. There is quite large amount
of tonnage in the harbor disengaged, saw So
600 tons; but freights are looking up little,
it being quite difficult to charter first-class
grain carrying ships at rates current for the
past three months The probable advance on
freights for the new crops will be from IS to
12s. This, taken together with extreme low
prices ruling in Liverpool, operates dscour-
agingiy to shippers here. We now quote good
grades at 81 6215@1 6715, and choice
milling at 81 70@1 IS, the latter an extreme
rate. Latest Liverpool quotations are for
average IS 11d@9s Id, and for club 9s Ida
