SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.
SAN FnANcIsco. Norember 18Th

SAN Francisco, November 18th.
FLOIR-Market moderately active, with no
change in values. We quote: Best city extra,

fine, 81 50G.S 50 q Dbl.
Liverpool advices of late date say: " Flour is
quiet, aed American millers are again Offering
freely for shipment. Any changes Ill quotation
are in downward direction. California FlourS
are not much in demand, and in order TO make
sales further concessions have been submit ed
TO. Oregon and Walla Walla brands meet with
good inquiry at the low prices now ruling for
this class"
WHEATON u week the market has been
moving along quietly at a range of 81 221%G1 .
2 ctl for grades that come up to No. shipping
standard. Low prices have kept supplies back
this season, though exporters do not complain
OF being unable to fill all needed requirements
at the figures quoted. The crop this year has
not been moved us quickly as might be desired,
though appliances are at hand to facilitate
much quicker motion if markets abroad would
only shape i'll Il way to warrant such action.
The first signs of improvement at foreign cen
tiers would more than likely impart considerable
activity III local grain circles: Low grades are
being taken with moderate freedom for super
lille Flour at lower rates than prevail for good
shipping parcels while for Il choice offering
there IS no difficulty i'll obtaining better figures
a very prime lot was taken to-day on milling
account at 81 80, but this Is an exceptional
price as 81 27h q ctl is considered about the
top OF the market for milling purposes.

The circular of Kufeke \ Co. dated Liver
pool, October sd. says: I'VE have to report a
slow and dragging market for all grades and
return on the part of buyers to their old policy
OF abstention. Wheat is offered at less money
on spot. and quotations for cargoes for shipment
are reduced without attracting buyers"
BARLEG-Sales by sample are insignificant.
High asking rates have curtailcd operations.
Buyers are giving attention to other articles OF

market would be easier in tone were 1t not for
the storage of stock to meet Call Board contracts.
This circumstance causes an absence of offerings
on open Change. and gives holders encourage
ment i'll insisting on full quotations. Sellers to-
day were not disposed to part with choice feed
below 81 2 ctl, while purchasers as a rule would
not bid over 95c. though offer TO sell at 9T15c
q ct would probably bring ont customers.
On call this morning the selling element APP
peared TO be the more numerous body, and COM
petition to put out contracts caused break in
values. The market fell more than one cent
during the session. There were several turns
during the proceedings, which furnished specu-
lative opportunities. But, taken altogether, the
tendency was mainly downward, and the situa-
ton lacked support at the close. Sales were as
follows:
