COMMERCIAL,
san Francisco Produce Market.


FLoUI-A moderate export inquiry prevails,
mainly Chinese account. Best City Extra, So 25d

Wharf.-The market keeps surprisingly inactive.
Within two days less than twenty-nine deep
water vessels have arrived, all suitable for the grain
trade, and many OF them being already chartered
for that purpose. There is no question about
Wheat being wanted for export but shippers are
very tardy in fortiyisg themselves with necessary
reserves The situation at Liverpool Tor several
days has not besn OF character to inspire buyers
with courage, and we presume Il at operators are
waiting until the last moment before purchasing, in
the hope Of some change favorable TO their inter
ests 1t is hardly probable that holders will recede
from present asking rates, so that relief must be
looked Tor in other directions. Business on Change
to-day was entirely nominal. miller paid 81 rs
for 200 ctls, while some No. 2 shipping changed
hands at 81 ri TO the extent of 2,7e0 ctls, with
another small lot of l 600 cts going at 81 III An
invoice OF 1000 cts off grade realized 81 60 y ctl.

BARLEY Business is tame. There seems to be no
pressing demand, while the inquiry for export or
speculative purposes has apparently subsidized Dur
ported at 81 Al, but it is claimed that this figure
only paid for clean bright parcels suitable for
seed. Some choice was offered on Change to-day
at this rate without finding buyers, though heara
that 81 90 was given for small LOT OF 300 bags,
probably for seed use. sale of 800 SKIS weavily at
81 42i indicates that values are not weakening.
Holders of Brewing have views somewhat in advance
OF BUYERS. There is difference of sc = ell between
contracting parties. Purchasers willing to give
81 go for their selection, but s. IS is the ask
ing rate Chevalier is wholly neglected, though
parcels OF almost any reasonable magnitude could
probably be placed without difficulty at our inside
price. We quote az follows Feed. 81 42i@

oATs-There is no great amount OF business
being transacted. Holders are not forcing sales,
as such a course would result in lowering prices.
