SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.

pect for this year. The rainfall to date ha:
amounted to sixteen inches, or about two
thirds the average, as estimated for the pas
twenty-five seasons. The prospect is an ex

, ting as all do, that the general prosperity o
the whole coast is based on the production o
| the soil Business for the week under review
has been dull and unsatisfactory to all con
: cerned. The price of wheat has declined, IRON
various causes, but principally from the low
prices obtainable in markets abroad; the pres
ent Liverpool quotations being IS 3d@9s "a
for average, and 9s Sd@10s for club. There are
a great many ships here seeking business, and
charters have declined to 81 los for firstclass
iron grain ships, and e. Is for wooden ships
Flour has also weakened down, and transac-
actions are reported at decline from quota
tions of last week. Barley is inactive but
prices are unchanged. Oats move OIL
slowly with but little inquiry. Corn is steady
at former quotations. Buckwheat is very
quiet at nominal prices. Rye is unchanged
Potatoes are firm and in good demand. Onions
have advanced steadily. Hops are held in
light stock and firm with few transactions.
Wool is quiet, though an Improvement is
looked for on account of Eastern advices
showing more inquiry. Cotton has declined
slightly, but is very heavy even at present
prices. Hides both dry and wetsalted meet a
ready market at our quotations. Tallow is
firm with prospect of improved rates. Dairy
produce is in good demand with very light
supplies, but a continuance of fair weather
will soon fill our market and cause a falling off
in prices.
WHEAT.-Priccs have declined materially,
partly on account of fall of prices in Liverpool
and partly on account of the large quantity of
rain which has fallen within the past few weeks
which relieves all concerned ofthe anxiety pre-
| viously felt by prospects of dry season
There has also been decline in freights, the
present rate being 50s for first-class iron ships
to ports direct in the United Kingdom. We

transactions are being made even on the basis
of these low rates. The reports from Eastern
markets are not particularly encouraging;
