SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.

| actions. Prices of grain have generally beer
| advanced as the supply is being reduced anC
| the prospect of short crops becomes more
apparent Reports from the different sec
| tfons of the State are conflicting as to esti
mates of damage to growing crops from va
rious causes, and many of them we believe to
be exaggerated; at present We see no reason
| TO charge the views we have heretofore ex.
pressed, viz that the crops of all descriptions
| will be fully up to the average of the two past
| seasons in quantity and quality. The tide OF
| immigration continues strong from all the
Western States, the daily increase to our pop.
ulation being estimated at 500 persons per
day. Receipts of wheat from the interior are
diminishing daily, causing thereby a material
advance in the price within the week. The
demand both for milling and for export con-
tinues good. Tonnage is abundant First
Liverpool direct at 81 Is cd, which is an advance
over rates last week. Flour is in fair demand
for local use, but the demand for export has
fallen off and is now quite light; rates for the
finer grades have been advanced, while super
fine and country brands continue low as here
tofore quoted. Oregon is sending down large
quantities by steamer and sail vessels. Barley
and oats are in active demand at advanced
prices. Corn is in fair demand at our
quotations. Buckwheat is firm at the late adj
vance, with light stock in market. Rye is with
out change with but little inquiry. Potatoes
have eased off in price for both old and new
crop, the new coming in quite freely, and the
old fast working off. There's large margin on
onions-inferior are plenty and cheap; choice
have appreciated in value and bring good
round price-Oregon sending us large quaDti-
ties by every steamer from the Columbia
River. The stock Of hops is nearly ex-
hausted, prices are lower. In Fall wool there
is no improvement as regards price, the stock
being quite large and nearly all of inferior
quality. The Spring clip continues to come
forward quite freely and finds ready market
at Unsatisfactory prices, the general quality being
superior, fine and long staple, for which there
is a good Eastern demand 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.-The market is in manner de-
moralized. There is fair demand, but holders
are unwilling sellers, even at the advance,
which has been liberal, especially for choice
milling and for export. Transactions have
not been large, as buyers are, many of them,
limited 10 prices to fill foreign orders.
Freghts have also improved, the latest char
terng being at the rate of e. Is Cd, with up
wards of 10000 tons of disengaged tonnage in
port The present range of prices may fairly
be given as follows: Choice Milling, 81 75@1 so;

FLOUR.-Ihere 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 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
brands, 81 00@4 40; extra superiine, |
81 50@5 90; silk dressed, City Mills, jobbing
at S. 25@S5 SO per Dbl of 1876 TBS.
BARLEY.-The market is stronger, with an
upward tendency. The supply is fair. Prices
are firm. Our quotations are for round lots,
at which sales have been made as follows:
Bright Bay brewing, 81 55@Sl 6212 ordinary
coast and feed, 81 50@S1 So; extra choice
brewing would probably command 81 60GSl7 70
per ctl
OATS.-There continues a good demand, |
with further advance in prices. The demand
is supplied largely from Oregon but it is
thought shipments from that quarter must
soon cease. Fair to choice feed sell at from

demand and a tendency to higher prices. The |
cargo price on the wharf ranges from SIS 90 |
to SIT % y ton, according to quality, there be-
ing an unusually wide range in prices for the |
reason that strictly choice Wheat is scarce. |
