SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.


Il greater or lesser disadvantage Buyers have
not seemingly been anxious to avail themselves
of the opportunity of buying at low prices,
probably because foreign markets have afforded
no encouragement to export. As consequence
the volume of business has been comparatively
small. The dizziness of trade is well evidenced
by the fact, that during the whole OF last month
less than ten Wheat cargoeS were cleared at the
Custom-house. Treble the number would not
be anything extraordinary if matters were at
all active. The promise of crops for a future
season has seldom been better than ROW. Ram
has been general throughout the state and the
fall has been largely in excess OF former years.
1t is to be hoped that results Will Justify the
present outlook. So far this week there have
been no sales of represe ntative character
though sufficient business has been transacted
to indicate n good idea as to values. From
81 35G}I 3715 2 ell has been the governing range
for parcels that would pass as standard shipping
quality.

stock to be found on the market 1t is mostly
in warehouse, and under good control. Medium

beyond market requirements, as 1t is under

ness on the part of sellers ana concessions are

cleaned up as possible 1t seems TO be tacitly
conceded that it is but question of time before
a lower range of values will prevail. Trade il
picked roll and key has been quite brisk of late
ana stocks of fancy quality of the former article
