SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.

interest is superior 20 all others, mining moi
excepted, and is, as it should be, the most i'm
portant. From the tone of our exchanges and
from the most reliable information we can
gather from all parts of the coast, we are sat.
isfied that the harvest this year of grain will
not, perhaps, be as large as last but that at the
same time we shall not only have as much as
will be needed for home consumption, but a
large surplus for export. We shall not neces-
sarily be losers, for it may be il the amount
sent abroad is less, the price obtained may be
higher The fruit crop promises well, all our
reports agreeing as to large yield, the late
frosts not having injured vines and trees as
was apprehended.
Business of all descriptions is fair for the
season; all our dealers in agricultural imple-
ments are busy as usual and there is no com
plant among our merchants generally of dull
| times. The tide of emigration is settling this
way stronger than ever before, and it is be-
coming question of no little importance as
| to the manner in which they can be disposed
| of to the best advantage to themselves and to
the country. Wheat is now coming in very
slowly and the business of exporting is very
| nearly at stand-still. Prices are firm at our
quotations. There are at the present time
only three vessels loading wheat at this port,
and trade is practically over for the season,
The export of breadstufls, thus far this season,
embrace S,429,700 centals wheat, and 421 200
bbls flour. Reducing flour to the basis OF
wheat, and we have the equivalent of 1896, 500
centals wheat, valued at $685., 200 Accord
ing to the returns made at the Produce Ex-
change, the stock in the State on the 18th of
April, consisted of ,349,957 centals wheat and
$500 bbls flour, equivalent to !, 525 1873, CEN
tails wheat. Since that time the exports have
amounted to 54 600, leaving balance on hand
of about 100000 centals. 1t is not at all prob
able that the exports from this time until July
LIST will exceed 100000 centals, or sufficient to
bring the total exports for the year up to TO-
100000 or 100000 tons. Flour is firm, but with
out change in price since our last report. Bar
ley and oats are in fair demand at unchanged
prices. Corn is in moderate 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 is large margin on
onions-inferor are plenty and cheap; choice
have appreciated in value and bring a good
round price-Oregon sending US large quaint
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
at satisfactory prices, the general quality being
superior, fine and long staple, for which there
is good Eastern demand. Dairy products
are in free receipt fully up to daily require
ments, without over-Stocklng 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 S0t9s1 SIS
for choice lotsAgood shipping may be quoted
within the range of 81 70@S1 IS, and ordinary
81 60@S1 Is per GENITAL. The latest Liverpool

9s 3d@9s Sd-rates of freight are nominal at
about f2De 2 6s for frst-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 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, "a 00@4 40; extra superine,
81 SOFAS 90; silk dressed, City Mills, jobbing
at S. 25@$5 so per Dbl of 1876 lbs.

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 60@S1 IS; ordinary
coast and feed, 81 50@sl SIS; extra choice
brewing would probably command 81 60@s1 70
per ctl.
OATS.-There continues 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

light. There is but little change to note in
price, the present range being 81 150l 20 per

is good.
HAYS in light supply, with an improved
demand and tendency to higher prices. The
cargo price on the wharf ranges from $40 90
