SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.

eral merchandise, and on the chartering and
| loading OF heet of grain ships for the Euro
pean markets.
The grain market has been particularly ac-
tive and excited, and many large transactions
have taken place. On receipt of the intelli-
gence oil Damage to the crops in Europe some
two weeks since, and of the advance in the
| prices OF grain, purchasers in this market
commenced buying largely on the rise; prices
here advanced till news came of a sharp and
sudden decline in the Liverpool market, caus-
| ing prices to at once recede correspondingly
in this. At this writing the excitement has
abated ana the market 10 quite steady at our
quotations. Within the past week nine ships
chartered to load wheat for the United King
dom-mostly on owners accountable aggre-
gate tonnage of which is about 1900 There
still remains in our harbor $1,000 tons disen-
gagged vessels, nearly all first-class grain-car-
riers seeking business. Freights are about as
last quoted, say 60 IS.
Our wheat receipts have increased during
the week, though as yet very little goes into
warehouse. During the late excitement large
purchases have been made in the interior for
future delivery. The present demand is good,
and at the prices now obtained our farmers
will probably realize sufficient on the advance
to make good the short crop in this State. The
crop in Oregon and in Washington Territory
is abundant and largely in excess Of any pre-
viOus year.
Flour continues in good demand even at the
advanced rates, corresponding to the rise in
wheat Barley receipts are increasing and
prices are steady and firm with fair demand.
Wool transactions have been large and full
prices obtained for all choice lots. The bulk
of the Spring clip has now been disposed Of;
lately, mostly Of choice quality, andfor which
the highest market price is obtained Fall
clip has commenced to come forward in small
lots from the southern counties. Dairy
produce continues to bring good prices,
the demand being unusually good and our
markets not overstocked with home products,
while receipts from Eastern markets have
been quite light, eggs especially have MAN,
tanned the late advance in price, on account OF
light supplies. Fruits of all seasonable va
rieties are In active demand and command
high prices as compared with former seasons;
the supply is quite moderate our quotations
