SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.


SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.
SAN FRANCISCO, November 18th.
FLOUR-Market moderately active, with no
change in values. We quote: Best city extra,
81 25(dti so: medium, So 50@4 shipping super
fine, 81 50613 80 p Dbl.
Liverpool advices of a late date say: " Flour is
quiet, and American millers are again offering
freely for shipment. Any changes IN quotation
are in a 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"
WHEAT-For Il week the market has been
moving along quietly at range of 81 2212G1 p
q cti 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 as quickly as might be desired,
though appliances are at hand to facilitate
much quicker motion if markets abroad would
only shape in Il way to warrant such action.
The first signs of Improvement at foreign cen
tiers would more than likely impart considerable
activity in local grain circles. Low grades are
being taken with moderate freedom for super
fine Flour at lower rates than prevail for good
shipping parcels, while for choice offering
there is no difficulty in obtaining better figures.
a very prime lot was taken to-day on milling
account at 81 80, but this Is an exceptional
price, as a 2715 q ctl is considered about the
Top OF the market for milling purposes
Call business this morning was light, embrGc-
ing only 800 tons buyer season, at 81 1914 g ctl.
Afternoon sales were:
Buyer season-i00 tons, s. 361i.
Buyer season, city-100 tons, 81 $50.
BUYER 1SSi-IG0 tons & 2Tla r ctl.
The circular of kuteke Il Co, dated Liver
pool October sd, says: 1--WE have to report
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
rpIulpd without Mi tracing bnVprS
BARLEY-Saies by sample are insignificant.
High asking rates have curtailed operations.
Buyers are giving attention to other articles OF
feed that can be had at cheaper prices. The
market would be easier In tone were ii 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 IN insisting on tull quotations. Sellers to-
day were not disposed to part with choice feed
below 81 3 ctl, while purchasers rs a rule would
not bid over 95c, though an offer 10 sell at 91%c
q ctl would probably bring ont customers.
on call this morning the selling element ap-
peared to be the more numerous body, and com
petition to put out contracts caused a 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:
