SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.

writing, we have had very little rain in tn
State, except in the extreme northern por
J tious, but the weather has been general,
quite cool, and heavy fogs have daily extend
ed over large portions Of our valleys, supply
ing in a great measure the lack of rain. tn,
outlook Is not altogether as discouraging a,
many seem to view it. Some of the best in
formed business men have estimated the yielt
of the State at 100000 tons over home con
sumption; add to this the surplus from Ore
gon, say 10000 TONS and we have an aggre
gate for export of 100000 tons which will make
business for quite feet of ships.
The business of the week past has beer
good, though without particular activity in
any one department Merchants from the in
terror are inclined to buy more sparingly than
month since, when the crops looked more
promising. In view of the increased mmi.
grafton this season our merchants have estab
lished in this CITY Bureau Of Immigration
having in part for its object the furnishing
information and employment to all who need
assistance of that character and they invite
correspondence from all portions of the coast
in furtherence of its objects; of this let all no
are interested take notice and govern them
| selves accordingly.
Wheat receipts are quite light and prices
are firm at our quotations. Flour is
quiet, the trade being almost entirely local
prices steady. Barley has declined with les
| sened demand. Oats are firm with fair in
| quiry but light stock; the market is partly
supplied from Oregon. Corn is without essen
| tial 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 and firm at rates
| last quoted. Potatoes are in good demand for
both new and old crop and good prices are OBJ
tanned all round; new are coming in quite
| freely, taking the place of the old, which are
and high with active demand for all choice
| lots. Hops are nearly out of market. Receipts
of the Spring clip of wool have been unusu-
ally large, thus far, and the general quality
has been much above the average; there has
been much activity to the market since the
opening-as to Fall wool, sales are very light,
nearly all the stock remaining on hand being
of inferior quality and undesirable - conse
quently when sales are effected only the low
est prices are obtained. Dairy products
are in free receipt, fully up to daily require
ments, without over stocking the market or
reducing prices below fair paying rates.
WHEAT.-There is very little doing in the
way of export. The principal buyers are mill
ers, who are paying as high as 81 50 for choice
lots-good shipping may be quoted within the
range of 81 70@Sl IS, at which latter rate we
note sales within the week of 5000 SKIS and Or
binary 81 55@S1 Is per GENITAL. The latest
Liverpool quotations are for average IS lld@

declined to e. for tirst-class grain ships.
FLOUR.-There is light demand for stand
ard extras and supertine for export, with a
firm but quiet market at our quotations. Mill
ers are slow to purchase at the late advance on
wheat, and portion of the mills are now re-
duced to ordinary running time. Oregon is
sending us large quantities by every vessel
from the Columbia River We quote the range
for the various grades as follows: Standard
country brands, 81 00@43715; extra superline,
81 50Cd4 IS; silk dressed City Mills, jobbing
at s. l215@S5 50 per Dbl of 1876 Tbs.

aud the tendency is to lower prices. We note

have been advanced to $40 00@$20 90 for bran,

HAYS in fair supply, with an improved
demand and tendency to higher prices. The
cargo price on the wharf ranges from $40 90
to SIT 10 u ton, according to quality, there be-
ing an unusually wide range in prices for the
reason that strictly choice Wheat is scarce.

cordng to size.
WOOL-The receipts of the Spring clip
have been unusually large, the total receipts
for the past four weeks aggregating $4,000
bales. The market has been quite active since
the opening of the season, and remunerative
prices have been obtained. The only check
the market has received since the opening has
been on account of the break in transporta-
ton over the railroad. Sales for the week I'M
der review aggregate 100000 tbs Spring clip
within the range of our quotations, which are
as follows: BURY and heavy free, 15@1oc b
