SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.

SAN FRANCISCO. February 9th
FLOUR-The China steamer, to sail to-mor-
row, Is expected TO carry away over 5000 bbls.
We quote Best city extra 81 2564 70; me.
dlum, so oO94; shipping superfine. 81 75@3 Is
= Dbl.
WHFAT-The market is in fair motion. and
it looks as if movement were likely to continue
moderately lively for time. The views OF
buyers and sellers are more i'll harmony than in
some time, and contracts are. therefore, more
req Oily negotiated. Brisk trading has been an
encouraging feature for day or two, and con
siderable grain is changing hands. The first
Monday in March is rapidly approaching, when
all grain in warehouse will be liable to taxation
and the desire to be rid of ownership by the
period mentioned may account to some extent
Tor the Willingness OF owners TO meet the Situa-
ton at current rates. Exporters win probably
manage to get the bulk OF purchases aaoat in
time to be beyond the control OF the Assessor.
Good No. shipping is quotable at 81 27l@ = ctl,

BARLEY-Althoughb business is far from being
large in volume, there is a good tone 10 the mar
ket. Feed that is at all passable in quality is
worth 81 so g ctl, while standard stock cannot
be had below 81 3215 y ctl, being firm at that
figure. Brewing descriptions show the same
steadiness that has been noted for a month or
more. Trade in this particular quality is not
urgent, though there is regular CUSTOM and
stocks are working down well. As usual, there
is somewhat wide range in values, the eX-
tremes being 81 40(11 30 q ell.

BUTTER-ihe market is in demoralized
condition. Receipts are largely in excess of
trade requirements,whi the quality of arrivals
is not OF a character to admit of packing. As a
consequence there is general competition to dis
pose OF consgnments and buyers have every
thing in their favor Fancy, dc: choice, DO DC;

weaken in consequence. We quote: California,

EGGS-For day or two the market has been
almost bare of stock. but receipts this morning
were more than enough to go round. and deal
ers do not anticipate any scarcity OF this pro-
duct for the future. AT the moment 25c p dozen
is the ruling figure, though prices are expected
to go lower if receipts be at all free.
POULTRT-Buyers have had matters largely
in their favor for week, and at the moment
there is no sign OF improvement for the selling
interest. We quote as follows: Live Turkeys
