sANFRANCIsCO MARKET.

In recording TIE business OF the general
market for the past week we remark a fair
except in the grain market. In some parts Of
| Europe there have lately been heavy rains and
| disastrous floods which have done immense
damage to the growing crops. The supplies
on hand in the grain marts were very nearly
| exhausted, and the natural result has been an
| immediate and sharp rise in the value Of
breadstuffs throughout those markets. with a
corresponding deQand and consequent rise in
this. 1t is thought however, by those best in
| formed, that the excitement in the English
market has now reached its height, and the
quotations given below will be the extent Of
the rise In values for the present. as the foreign
market is at this date reported quiet and with
out change in quotations. Tonnage is abun-
dant, there being at this date nearly 20 900 tons
| of disengaged ships in our harbOr seeking
business. Freights are very low and without
change, say 60 5s@ 60 rs Cd for first-class grain
ships to the United Kingdom.
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.
Oats are becoming more plentiful, and the late
advance in price has received check, the
market showing weakness at our quotations.
Receipts Of corn are moderate and prices
| steady. Rye has advanced, receipts so far hav-
| ing been quite light. Potatoes are still conf
ing in quite freely and are largely in excess Of
consumptive demand, causing prices to shade
off. The supply of onions is quite light, and
the demand being good prices are steady.
Wool transactions have been large and good
prices obtained for all choice lots. The bulk
Of the Spring clip has now been disposed Of;
there is considerable Oregon being received
lately, mostly Of choice quality, and for 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 main.
