SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.

! for the week under review and we have bu
few transactions to record Grain and houl
have experienced slight decline from rates
ruling last week, corresponding to the decline
of breadstuffs i'm foreign markets. There are
q large number of ships here seeking bust
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 Inc
latest charters were reported at f,s ior irst
class Grain vessels to ports director about
one. half the rate of charters made at the be.
ginning of the harvest year. Reports from all
narts OF the coast are of the most favorable cha
racter respecting crop prospects for this year
and if there is no failure in the spring rainfall
we have promise of the largest crop OF gram
the State has ever produced. Wheat has de
clned since our last quotations, the demand
for export being light, even at the present
| limited price, Flour is in steady demand,
with little change in the figures. Barley is
weak, and prices hardly maintained, with a
prospect of decline soon. Oats are weak al

quotations represent cash prices for usual Sc
lections. Tallow is in light demand with large
stock denominations. Dairy produce meets
ready market, but as supplies increase daily,
prices lessen in proportion
WHEAT. transactions are limited, and
there seems to be an inclination to lessen
prices There is no speculative feeling, nor Is
there any competition among buyers; pur-
chasers may be said to have only desire 10

to make money, but to avoid loss in the trans
