SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.

Tho late cold weather has proved somewha,
Injurious to certain crops in some portions OIL
the State, especially so to small fruits, though
not to such an extent as first reports from
several districts would lead us to believe. The
season is somewhat backward on account Of
the cold, but on the whole we think the har.
vest Of grain and nearly all that of fruit will
be as abundant and large as has been pre-.
dicted throughout the past winter season
| That We are to have very large accession tc
the population of our State this year is evi.
dentfrom all present appearances. According
| to the most reliable accounts upwards of TO-.
900 persons have crossed the mountains, Cali
forna bound, within the past six weeks, and
| the influx now is at the rate of over $40 per.
sons per day. The majority of these immigrants
are from the Western States, though nearly
all the States have their representatives anon
of settling permanently on the coast, and many
of them are possessed Of means to purchase
homes and improve property.
| Receipts OF wheat are comparatively light
and prices are firm, confirming the impression
that the surplus yet remaining in the interior
is nearly exhausted. The exports by sea of
wheat and flour, from July, 1874, to date, foot
up nearly 100000 centals. Tonnage is abun-
dant. First-class grain-carrying ships can be
chartered to Liverpool direct at 60. Flour is
quite active the demand being chiefly for ex-
port; rates unchanged, except for interior
brands, which are a shade lower. Oregon is
sending down large quantities by steamer and
sail vessels. Barley is looking up 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 advance, with
light stock in market. Rye is without change

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.
Onions are plenty and cheap, Oregon sending
us large quantities by every steamer from the
Columbia River. The stock of hops is nearly
exhausted, and holders ask high prices In
Fall wool there is no improvement as regards
price, the stock being quite large and nearly
all of inferior quality. The Sp;ng clip contin-

demand. Dairy products are in free receipt,

WHEAT.-There is really hut little doing.
The export demand is quite light Holders are
firm in their prices and strong in their conf
manning stock without making any concession
as to price. Those best posted predict an adj
vance before the new crop is brought into mar
ket. The range of prices may fairly be given
