SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.


changed since our last review. Business is
quiet and without special activity in any de-
partment, still there is a gradual growth in
the volume of trade, which being void of un-
due or speculative excitement, denotes very
healthy state of affairs throughout the coun-
try. Harvesting is progressing finely, the late
rains having only delayed progress without
materially injuring the grain and hay; on the
other hand, they were positive benefit TO the
fruit crops everywhere on the coast lmmi-
grafton still continues from the Western
States, the rate being nearly as great as during
May, and nearly all who come seem to find
employment Of some kind--at least we hear
but little complaint The receipts Of new
grain are remarkably light, farmers evidently
holding off for better prices. Tonnage is
abundant and freights rule low, with no pros
pect of change in rates for some time to come
The present prices for first-class grain ships
to ports direct in the United Kingdom being
at R2 rs 6dd f2 los, and very little doing at
that. Wheat is without change in value since
our last writing, though rates are well main.
tanned and but few transactions in either old
or new. Barley comes forward but slowly
though the demand is good and prices har-
dening. The supply of oats is fair, Oregon still
keeping up her supplies. Prices are nearly
stationary as last quoted. Corn is without
change the demand and supply being nearly
equally balanced. The market for Rye is
steady with light supplies and small transac-
tons. le
New Potatoes are arriving freely and the
supply fully equals the demand, which is large;
Prices are gradually seeking lower levels
Onions are quite plenty and prices low, but
steady. Receipts OF wool have fallen of;
the demand is good; we report large transac-
tions in both spring and fall clips at fair
prices for the fall, which is of very poor quail
ity and undesirable, and good prices for the
spring clip which is generally of unusually
good quality, especially for all Northern fleece,
which is said to be quite above the average.
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. Fruits of all seasonable va
rieties are in active demand and command
high prices as compared with former seasons !;
the supply is moderate: our quotations have a
wide range, as prices fluctuate daily according
to the supply.
