SAN RANClSCD MARKET.
SAN FRANCISCO, September sth.
FLOUR-The demand at the moment is con-
lined TO local wants. We quote Best city extra
3 zoos so q Dbl.
WHEAT--Oreson is shipping rather freely in
this direction ami this circumstance, while o D.
Grating to the disadvantage of home growers
affords exporters opportu lily TO do more or less
business, because the asking figure for these
arrivals is generally below the price wanted for
desirable California product. Sales of Walla
Walla have been made this week to the extent
OF QUO tons at the uniform price of IL S21% 4 ctl
Local holders are showing less firmness in their
views, ana there is more freedom in offerings
with better disposition 10 meet the market at

BARLEG-The situation has not been looking
well for several days. The price of feed has
been raised to so high figure that trading was
largely checked Many buyers turned their at
tention to Oats which were in heavy supply
and low in price Oregon has not missed the
chance, and has sent Barley to this market.
We have already received close upon O,OOO ctls
Oregon Barley since the beginning of the har-
vest year. OF course this quantity would have
no direct influence III the premises but it shows
that our more northern sister State must not be
overlooked in the calculations as to possible
supplies. To-day many dealers were surprised
to ind that Utah was seeking market here for
some of her produces: the receipts showing AN
arrival OF 900 centals of Utah Barley. All these
incidentals tend to create an uneasy feeling and
give softer tone to values. At the moment
there Is no spot trading, and ii is difficult to give
guiding figure. From 81 20 to 81 % Z ctl will
embrace the extreme asking figures for every
thing i'll the feed line, Though a buyer at the
higher figure would be hard to find, no matter
how choice the offering. Old Brewing is in de-
mand, finding steady custom at 81 3715GII 42l5
2 ctl. In Chevalier we hear of no movement
though hopes are expressed of some activity in
the near future. This kind of stock is auotabe
at 81 SOL 45 q ctl, according to color and
weight.

OATS-COntiuued free arrivals tend 10 give
the market yet softer tone. and il is doubtful
if prevailing prices could be maintained IL sales
were at all pressed. Buyers SHOW reluctance
even to make offers at 81 shading in ash log rates
for fear OF acceptance. Under such circum
stances it is evident that the situation cannot
shape favorably for the selling interest until
thtre is more or less reduction in stocks We
quote: surprise and milling, 81 25nt 80: No. l.

not improve in price. Just as soon us stocks are
sufficiently lowered 10 give some strength to val.

FRUlT-Prices have not varied much during
the past few days. Grapes are IN good demand
but the supply is ample Strawberries and Rasp-
berries make fair exhibit and sell well at estab.
lished rates. Lemons and Lines are Tot in great
request, owing to cool weather. WatermelOns
are also slow of sale for like reason. Apples
and Pears are more or less drug, though
choice. Bartlett Pears are an exception, com
maudlng ready custom at top figures. We

-BUTTER-The situation Is not favorable for
sellers! o. strictly fine quality there is yet
scarcity hut supplies of good and desirable
product are in excess of trade wants. Pur-
chasers can stock up at about SOC z n for
fair!y choice article, but an advance would
have TO be paid IL a few iavorite brands be in
sisted on. Mixed and made over butter is still
coming in, which cannot, as rule, be placed
to rs good advantage as ii allowed to remain in
pickle. Some of this kind of stock has been
sold recently as low as Ice 2 n. Most of it is
. only fl for use By bakers, and for this pJlr
pose is not more desirable than Western kep
which is offered at IO@l21Se y H. We
quote: Fancy, 3212c good TO choice, 259S0c; fair

CHEESE The gen raj tone of the market is
weak, though occasional sales are made in a
small way of something extra at a small adj
vance on our figures. QUetable at S%d
SC; inferior grades 31Gc: Eastern. 13c; Western,
5G.10c 3 H.
EG5S-Liberal receipts of Eastern of fairly
good quality are competing with She California
product, finding quicker custom than average
offerings OF the domestic article Retailers are
able 20 sell good Eastern at a Row figure and vet
realize better profit than on California which
accounts for the preference given the former by
many buyers. 0aarings age generally i'll excess
of trade requirements, and values have u down
ward tendency. California are quotable
at 2@}3c for choice, and 2S@30c p dozen for
good; Eastern, l59l6c tor fair, and l7d20c 2
dozen or good
P0ULTRY-The market is crowded with
stock mostly OF poor quality. Buyers have every
thing their Own way just now We quote /:
