SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.


ness, and as English orders are limited, pur-
chases are made chiefly on owners account,
the only care being to dispatch their vessels
with the least possible chance OF loss. The
latest charters were reported at Abs Tor ilrst-
class grain vessels to ports director about
onc-half the rate of charters made at the be-
ginning of the harvest year. Reports from all
parts of the coast are of the most favorable cha
racter respecting crop prospects for TINS year,
and if there is no failure in the spring rain fall,
we have promise of the largest crop of grain
the State has ever produced. Wheat is tirmer,
though prices have not advanced, the receipts
being about equal to the demand at the present
limited price. Flour is in steady demand,
with little change i'll the figures. Barley Is
| in free receipt and with Il falling OIL in de-
mand prices have declined Oats are weak at
our quotations, Oregon has commenced send
ing supplies forward. Corn is held firmly at
our last quotations, with an active demand.
Buckwheat is quiet at nominal prices. Rye is
| in light demand and prices are shade lower
| than last quoted Potatoes are in more liberal
supply and prices are quite weak; new have
made their appearance i'll the market onions
are in demand and prices advanced. Hops are
| in light supply and prices rule high. Wool is
in excessive stock and without movement, even
at the very low prices quoted, the bulk of the
stock remaining on hand being earthly, bury,
| and undesirable for export.
| WHEAT.--Owing to the continued demand
both for export and local consumption, ana 10
| q general ulSpOSlilOu W uOli DuCh anu W ait
| for the Spring rains prices have stiffened up
a little, especially for choice milling and ship
ping grades. There is, however, no speculative
| feeling, nor is there any competition among
| buyers; purchasers may be said to have only u
| desire to buy at the lowest possible figures and
| load on same terms-the point in view being,
| not to make money, but to avoid loss in the
| transaction. The range of price for good ship
ping grain is from 81 81 a ", the latter being
extreme. Choice milling commands 81 500
l 6215 per ctl. The present Liverpool quota
lions are as follows: IS 11d@9s Sd for average,
and IS 3d@9s 10d for club. Transactions for

ruling at New York and Boston. The present

erage Fall Wool was selling slowly at l9@2lc;
bury grades, and extremely heavy, short and
