SAN FRANCISCO MARKETS.

FLOUR Millers report a fair local
trade, with moderate inquiry on export
account.
We quote: San Francisco extra, best. at
$4.25@4.S0; medium, $3.50@4.00; shipping
superfine. Sz.5003.50.
WHEAT-The situation is hopeful for a
continuance of the moderately free move
ment that has prevailed for the past two
weeks. Ships are being loaded as rapidly
| as possible, many cargoes being taken on
account of owners, who believe the result
of such action will eventually prove more
profitable than if they accepted charters
at current figures. Prices are established
at about $l.25 u ctl for No. l. shipping
qualities, but this figure is extreme at the
moment. The continued depression at
English distributing centers makes local
operators more than usually cautious.
BARLEY-The market this week looks
| as if it was shaping more favorably for the
buying interest. For three or four days
the receipts have been somewhat large but
the consignments have mostly come to or
der to be used in filling contracts made in
the sessions of the call board. 1t is possi-
BILE that some parties who will have to ac-
cept deliveries will force stock in the open
market, in which event values will tenn
porarily become more or less unsettled.
At the moment, 95c II ctl is a full figure
for the best article of feed, while ordinary
No. l, grade is hardly quotable over 923c.
Second qualities are very dull, offering
down to Soc u ctl. while less desirable de-
scriptions can be had at lower figures
Brewing is in lighter demand, though
prices are firm at a range of $l@1.10 V ctl.
OATS-Offerings of all descriptions con-
TIME free, and the market is generally
weak in tone. Dealers do not anticipate
any improvement of consequence for some
time.
