SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.

2. Since our last review the State has been Wis
o tied with light showers OF rain almost daily
> making glad the hearts of our farmers, assur
o ing, as it does, the prospect of reward for al
S their labors in abundant harvcsts this year
Its effect on the market is to cause holders o
8 grain in the interior to evince desire to nee
: the buyers more nearly on their own terms
and there has in consequence been more &C
tivity to the market. The receipts of graii
!, for shipment during the month of February
last were greater than at any time during thu
; same month in any previous year. We have
thus far exported over 100000 tons of wheat
and flour, with every prospect of completing
the harvest year with "a total of at least ,O0t
tons. Wheat is in good demand and firm al
our quotations. Flour is very low with con
siderable movement at slight falling off from
previous rates. Barley is in freer cceipt, and
with falling Off in demand prices have de-
clincd. Oats are weak at our quotations. Ore
gon has commenced sending supplies forward
Corn is weak at our quotations, with fair sup
plies and lessened demand. Buckwheat is
quiet at nominal prices. Rye is in light de-
mand and prices are shade lower than last
quoted Potatoes are in more liberal supply
and prices are unchanged; new have made
their appearance in the market. Onions
are in demand and prices advanced. Hops are
Insight supply and prices rule high. Wool is
in excessive stock, with little movement, even
at the very low prices quoted, the bulk of the
stock remaining on hand being earthly, bury,
and undesirable for export.

4 ing remarks, the receipts have been very large
