SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.

past week we can find but little to add to ou
remarks Of last ISSUE All that pertains t.
1 the future Of crop prospects must be matter
of conjecture. Reports from the different sec
| lions Of the State are conflicting as to esti
mates Of damage to growing crops from va
rious causes, and many of them we believe tt
be exaggerated; at present we see no reason
| to charge the views we have heretofore ex
pressed, viz, that the crops Of all description:
will be fully up to the average of the two pas
seasons in quantity and quality. The tide o.
immigration continues strong from all the
Western States. the daily increase to our pop
ulation being estimated at 500 persons pei
day, the total net gain for the three month";
by rail and by sea being over 10000 persons.
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.
class grain-carrying ships can be chartered ia
Liverpool direct at 60 IS, which is an advance
over previous rates. Flour is quite active, the
demand being chiefly for export; rates for the
firm 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 is
unchanged in price, with fair inquiry. Oats
are in large supply. We have large receipts by
sea from Oregon which keep prices down to a
nominal rate. 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 advanced still further in prices for the
old crop, which is concentrated in Few hands,
and by reason Of reported injury to the new
crop BY the late cold snap, holders have it all
their own way. There is large margin on
onions-inferior are plenty and cheap; choice
have appreciated in value and bring good
price-Oregon sending us large quantities
by every steamer from the Columbia
River. The stock Of hops is nearly ex-
hausted, and holders ask high prices. In
Fall wool there is no improvement as regards
price, the stock being quite large and nearly
ues to come forward quite freely for the season,
and finds ready market at satisfactory 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 requirements, without over
stocking the market or reducing prices below
fair paying rates.

fair. Holders are firm in their prices, and

Ordinary do, 81 65@1 10; Choice Shipping quail

sending us large quantities by every vessel
