san FRANCISCO December 13th-IP. N.
FLoUR-A fair jobbing trade is in progress. We
quote Best City Extra, S. 2595 So Superfne,

Superfne, s4a4 62l.
WuEAT-For neatly two weeks the market has
been dormant. Once or twice there have been evil
dences Of a waking up, but depressing foreign news
has at once operated like sedative potion, and
lued the situation into its former sluggishneSs.
There has consequently been a general cessation
of business fer what may be deemed long period
at this particular OF the year. Some holders
are beginning TO tire Of carrying stocks, and are
making strong efforts t. realize before the close Of
the year without sacrificing too much. Shippers
have all along prOfesSed 10 be willing buyers though
at such low offering rates TO cause doubts as to
their sincerity for actual business. Sellers believe
that il grain were real y wanted much higher bids
would be made. A week ago Il Go was the highest
figure that could be obtained, but there was no de-
sire 10 accept the reduced rate. Meanwhile offer
ilgs have generally been Withdrawn To-day the
be Il public bid for No. l was 81 60, while rumoTs
ne current that exporters sre privately securing
round lots of this grade at 81 62l o ctl. We hear
of sales Of about $1,000 cts since yesterday noon
by one prominent operator, though the price is
withheld One lot 81 1000 ctls was reported to-day
at 81 Cpl and parcel OF 600 ctls of grade changed
hands at 81 30 4 ctl. Liverpool advices report a
further lowering of Cd per quarter cagoes nearly
due and Just shipped, being Is below the figures
current at this time last week. No. is quotable at
81 gu; No ., 81 579@1 60 q ctl
BARLEY-The demand for feed is quite slack. For
this particular purpose other kinds OF grain have
been more in favor Tor a week. Holders how
ever insist that the market is not likely to decline,
as stocks are anything but large. Receipts for
several days have been light and it is believed that
shipments in the future will be equally meager.
Brewing is not being forced on the market, and
Gales effected on blsis that appears to be salts
factory to the contracting parties. No efforts are
made to either elevate depress values Chevalier
does not make any headway. Whether there be any
large amount in first hands unable to learn,
but it looks at the moment as II the prospect for
this rartcular variety is not bright might be
desired or expected. But then export inquiry is
likely to spring up any day, and in such event hold
crs would soon be able to get nd OF all surplus On
Change to day the only sale Of note was 500 SKIS
fair brewing at 81 57l z ctl. We quote as follows
Feed, 81 45ai so !: Brewing, 81 5S@l 65; Cheya-
ler 81 50@l 81 for choice standard Bay and 81 40
al All for Coast.
OArs-No reasonable exception be taken 30
the nresent condition OF the market. The demand
for some time has been positively good and stocks
have been worked of to better advantage than was
generally anticipated. Supplies FROM the northern
coast have been constant and free and in spite of
nredictious that prices would tumble, there has
been buoyancy that few believed possible. Good
management alone has saved the market from fuc-
tuating badly or more than one occasion, when re-
ceipts we're quite heavy A sale of SEQ bags good
Washington Territory at 81 % e ell was tue most
notable feature on Change to-day. We quote
Good to choice 81 65@1 20; common, 81 57Aeel 60

CoKyLTberc IS no spirit 10 the market. The in
curry is almost nominal, while the Jew sales which
are sffscted partake wholly of a retail character.
Scarcely 600 bags have changed hands in six days,
and In no case has the reported daily transactions
exceeded $50 bags all tod. On Change this morn
inc little lot OF 10 sacks small yellow was placed at
ST 46f Q ctl.
