LOS ANGELES MARKET.

The city market during the past
week has hnd no unusual fluctuations,
but business and prices might be said
to be unchanged. The wholesale bus
mess is quite brisk, but not so lively
as when the shearing season was at
its height, and there will be no unusual
activity until the crops commence to
arrive. The retail market has been
brisk, owing in great measure to the
influx of strangers who have deter
mined to cast their lot with us. Among
our wholesale dealers, We found prices
ranging very low-dowi close to San
Francisco figures. This flatness is
likely to rule until there is more
buoyancy in the San Francisco and
great Eastern markets.
The latest reports from New York
show that gold and stocks are almost
unchanged. During the past week,
gold has ranged day by day 1l5 to l15s
with clock-work regularity and prom
ises a permanently in that respect.
The high price of gold is considered by
capitalists as injurious to California
interests, and fall to ITO would have
a good effect OH business all over the
coast. We quote stocks unchanged.
fLOUR-ln San Francisco there is little
demand for any but the Extr. ga ,lities. Su-
pcrtine is sold at S4@4 70, whicn is less than
N nrA6nnflOn g. N Erln-
cisco in large lots, SIS 1905 81 pes barrel, and
quotations here are the same, with freight
added. These very low figures are caused by
the competition of the country mills with the
city mills and the determination Of the larger
concerns to crush out the sm3isr. While the
competition Is disastrous to the mllers, yet
consumers receive the benefit in flour of good
quality at q low price.

very light and san Francisco reports the ex
port trade very duh, with sales of 200 sacks

the market opened this week as fol-
lows:

The clip in this vicinity was good.
The sheep came out in fine condition,
the fleece was good, the fibre being
strong and uniform. The market is
dull and fiat, wool being variously
quoted at l24@16c. The following are
the latest quotations from Boston:
Business in California wool is fair, amount
Ing to 2S5,00O pounds, ranging from l6(925 cts.
for Fall and 30935 Cts for Spring. The sales
of new Spring in most instances barely cover
cost.
The outcome from this exhibit Is
depressing on the sheep-raisers, but 1t
is hoped that a revival of wool will
take place at an early day.
THE LUMBER MARKET.
The demand for lumber continues to
be heavy. Building operations are
being pushed and new contracts con-
cluded every day. Our lumber deal
ers are doing much larger business
than last year, but do it with less la
bor, owing to their Increased trade ia
