San FRANCISCO, April 1.-THE Bulleton
has the following remarks OF. the wheat
market: The recent rains are reported
to have been pretty generally distribu-
ted throughout the State, and farmers
in almost query section are understood
to be well satisfied with the prospects Of
the young crops. The outlook for a
good years business in the opinion Of
many obseryant operators has seldom
been more favorable. Business has
been fairly active for the past week, and
the volume OF trade is comparatively
extensive. Free special transfers are
being made through public and private
channels, while fair speculative move
ment is in process. At this time last
ytar we had forty thousand tons Of ton
mage in port under engagement for
wheat. There is now q C % tons of dis
engaged tOnnsge in port, against 24OO
tons one year ago, and 217,Cc) tons are
on the way or engaged to come against
