SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.

I'D to the present date. Business of all kinds
has been quite fair; better perhaps than usual
at this season of the year. Grain is steadily
moving scaward from the interior, and at the
present writing there is fair prospect of dis
posing Of the surplus on hand before the in
coming of the new crop, and that at better
prices than have been ruling for the past two
months. Purchases are now being made
mostly on ships account, present rates oil
freight to the United Kingdom being lower
than any previous year-the Sorersign Of the
Seas taking wheat to Liverpool at 81 Is cd
Wheat has advanced in price under the i'm
preston that the stock on hand has been over
estimated, and large transactions are reported
as having taken place at the higher figures
quoted elsewhere. Flour has also felt the ad-
vance and better figures are obtained for all
grades Barley is less inquired for, the de-
mand for shipment overland by rail having
nearly ceased. Receipts are light, however
and prices hardening. Oats maintain former
rates. Corn is in fair demand at unchanged
figures. Buckwheat is quiet. Rye is in light
demand at nominal prices. Potatoes arrive
freely from Humboldt and move off readily at
our quotations. receipts of new are increas-
ing daily, selling at good prices. Onions are
plenty and cheap. The stock of hops is nearly
exhausted and prices rule high. Wool is more
enqured for, though there is no improvement
to note in prices, which are down to the low
est point apparently.
WHEAT-During the past week prices have
been steadily advancing, and the range of
| prices may safely be stated at 81 5501 % for
| choice, for export, and holders are slow to ac-
| cept even these prices at the close. Mllers
are offering as high as 81 671s for extra choice
| lots for milling. Sales for the week are re-
corded as follows 10000 SKIS for export
| private; 5000 SKIS extra choice, 81 65; 12,5OO
SKIS do, 81 6219; 10000 SKIS for export, 81 60;
$500 SKIS do, 81 So; $500 SKIS, 81 5215; $500
SKIS, 81 45d1 50 " ctl; 1900 SKIS choice mill
ing, 81 63s4. The latest Liverpool quotations
are: SIS lid @9s Sd for average, and Us 9d@9s
| lid for club.
FLOUR-There is fair demand, all the
mills around the Bay being actively engaged
| and running full time, partly on orders for
| export and partly for home consumption.
Prices have been advanced for the finest grades
country brands of Superfine are unchanged,
but firm-with prospect of an immediate ad-
vance The following are fair quotations for the
different qualities in lots: Superfine country
brands, So 75@4 90; city mills, standard, 81 90
(G4 20; extra Supernnc, 81 So0Sf 0U; SILK
dressed S. 121a@S5 3715.
BARLEY.-Receipts are light, and rather a
firm tone to the market. The following sales
made during the week under review will give
the reader the best idea of the present state
of the market: $500 SKIS feed, 81 35@S1 3712;
$500 SKIS bright feed, 81 40@S1 As; $500 SKIS
brewing, in lots, 81 45@$1 81, closing firm at
the latter price.
OATS.-Prces remain nearly stationary
Receipts are quite free-demand moderate
We note sales of 5000 SKIS light, fair to good
in lots, within the range of 81 50@s1 IS; 1000
SKIS good to choice in lots, 81 GOWS1 70.
RYE-Is in fair demand; receipts are light.
There is but little change to note in price the
present range being 81 2o@1 25 per 100 TBS.
CORN-Receipts have been moderate, with
sales, in lots, of 500 SKIS Yellow at 81 40@S1 As.
White being very scarce is held higher.
BRAN and MIDDLINGS.-The mill prices
are s14 90 for bran, and S20d22 90 II ton for
middlings, which is a reduction from pre-
vious prices.
HAYS in good supply, with a lessening
demand and n tendency to lower prices. The |
cargo price on the wharf ranges from IS 90
to SIG 90 u ton, according to quality.
STRAW-Is quoted at 60@75c per bale.
BEANS.-White are scarce and in good de- |
mand at good prices; colored are neglected. |
We quote the range of wholesale prices for
round lots as follows: Bayos, 215(0234c; Pink, |
! 134@175; Red, l$4@2; new White Pea, $50 |
334c; White Butter at 4119@5c. y 100 lbs.
| HOPS.-There is no movement to speak Of |
Stocks are very light, and prices are firm, hold
ers waiting for higher prices; 35@3712c may
be quoted as the range.
HONEY-Presentr receipts are small Owing
to large export trade at low prices carly in
the season, stocks are much reduced and prices
remain steady and firm at 1S@2215c for White |
Comb; dark do. 1215@l5c; Strained remains |
steady at 6@9c, according to quality.
BEESWAX-Stock on hand is limited-re- |
ceipts light, with little inquiry-quotable at
25@271ac u h.
POTATOES.-Receipts have been quite lib. |
eral during the week, but prices are without |
change, although the demand continues ac-
tive. We quote choice Humboldts at 81 so
al 90. All other choice varieties bring 81 70 |
al 50 on the wharf,
ONIONS.-The demand is fair, but owing to |
free receipts and the large quantity of inferior |
quality on hand prices have a wide range, say |
l5c@sl 3713, the latter for choice Silverskins. |
WOOL.-There is more inquiry, but at low |
prices; in truth, the market may be said to be |
weak when we consider that we have stock |
of Fall clip estimated at upward of 100000 |
lbs, and very little, if any, that can be called
free or choice. Eastern advices are little
more favorable, and shippers here have for
few days past been giving the stock on hand
some examination, with a view to making pur-
chases at such time as the trade in Boston and |
New York will warrant it. A few sample par
cells of Spring clip have reached market, and |
so far as examined the staple is very healthy. |
The length of both six and twelve month fleece |
is better, if anything, than the clip of last
spring, and it is expected that the general con-
dition will be superior in every respect We
quote: BURY, l2]9c; heavy free, 1915 15c
Best grades for shipping held at 15@17c. Sales
of 100000 lbs good free, 1519c; 5000 lbs good
bury, 1319c; 10000 bury and earthly, 10@1lc;
IS, 900 tbs i'll lots, 10@14c; $4,000 lbs good 15c.
COTTON.-Therei is but little movement, and |
prices are merely nominal, say 12I@15c. |
Stock on hand held for higher figures.
HIDES-Dry are wanted; 19@2O1sc cash is
paid for usual selections; 5000 y ID for wet
sailed.
TALLOW-Stock on hand is said to be up
wards of 100000 TBS. The demand continues
light and prices low. Refined, of good quality, |
commands 7@714c, while large quantities of
fair grade will bring only 61a@7c.
SEEDS.-There is an active demand for many |
the oil-mill taking all the clean Flax
offered at our quotations. We quote: Alfalfa,
California Mustard dull, 1896; Timothy, &c
. h.
CATTLE.-Our markets are well supplied
with all the varieties of meats. The following
are the Wholesale rates: Beef, 4d9c, according
to quality; Calves scarce at S@10c; Mutton,
41l@5c, plentiful Hogs on foot, 6s4@74

choice small ones.
