SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.
sAN FRANCISCO. April 9Th

FLOUR-Business Just at the moment is con-
fined to local wants. We quote: Best city ex-
superfine, 81 1905 70 2 Dbl.
WHEAT-The market displayed softer tone
this morning Buyers were on hand at Change
hour, but trading was slow, and 81 50 q ell was
less readily obtained than yesterday for stock
that would but fairly class as No l standard.
OF course the usual advance could be secured
for better and chOicer product.
London circular issued by Harris Bros. &
Co., under date of March 18th, says "Since our
last we have had some of the sharpest night
froSts of the season, with more sunshine by day
and occasionally a fall of snow Farmers ali
over the United Kingdom are now complaining
sharply of the appearance of the growing crops
and of the very severe and late season. W heat
during the week has not cen delivered freely
by farmers, who are in many districts busy on
the land, and foreign supplies have been limit
ed, not an ounce being reported into London
the last three days, thing we never remember
occurring before, consequently the emp ying of
warehouses goes on fast.
Call Board sales at the morning session of the
San Francisco Produce Exchange were as fol-
lows:
Buyer season-4oO tons. 81 Sc: 800. 81 361S;
100, 81 3614: 1000, 81 S6;s; LOO. 81 3619.

Seller 1856 90 tons, 81 49, 200, 81 225s.
BARLEY-The market is stationary at 81 81 q
ell for feed quality. Sellers establish the price
as stocks are not scattered. Trading at the
figure named is of jobbing character. For par
GELS of large dimensions higher rate would
likely have to be paid. In brewing descriptions
the movement continues active at range of
81 421a61 521a - cti, with transfers of fancy
product at 81 So q ctl.
Call Board sales at the morning session OF the
San Francisco Produce Exchange were as fol-
lows:
Seller season-SoO tons, 81 S215; 100, 81 Sl5s
p ctl.
Afternoon sales were:
Seller season-200 tons. 81 3l54 z ctl.
OATS-The late improvement in Barley keeps
the price for Oats quite steady. The market is
fully supplied, though not overstocked. We
quote Surprise and milling, 81 S59l 40; No;
p ell.
CORN-At the moment stocks can hardly be
said to be excessive, but the quantities of Ne
braska and Kansas ordered, and partly on the
way, are understood to be quite large, so that
the market is in very unsettled shape. Until
there be an advance in freight charges there is
little probability of an improvement in values.
In fact, the outlook would seem to favor
lowering OF quotations than otherwi c. Cali
fornia product is almost wholly neglected, there
being but light inquiry from millers for table
purposes. Wequota: California White 81 l5a1 20;
large Yellow, 81 20@l %; small Yellow 81 25Ge
l 271@; Nebraska and Kansas, mixed, 90G95c;
do. Yellow, 95c@Sl; Kansas White, Sl@i0 > ctl.
NEGETABLES-Garlic is very dear. Peas are
in excess of market requirements and prices
continue low Asparagus makes a good repre-
sentation, but the demand is active and values
are well sustained. We quote follows
Asparagus, 81 25@ll 75F box: Green Peas, 75c@ 81 q

FRUIT-Strawberries are increasing in sup
ply, but there is no surplus of arrivals and
good figures continue to prevail. There are
occasional shipments of green and dirty stock,
for which no sale can be found. Raspberries
make a slim showing. Oranges are less plenti-
full and firmer in price. Cherries are expected
in market before the close OF the month. We
quote prices as follows: Raspberries, 35@40c p
bskt: Strawberries, sob q chest Oranges,
California, 81 60@3 for ordinary stock and

BUTTER-Stocks clean up fairly well, but the
general situation presents nothing to encourage
the hope of any immediate Improvement in
values. We quote; Fancy 1s@1ec; choice,
l2allSe 2 10 Eastern, S@I1cS n
CHEESE-Receipts are free and stocks show
some accumulation, while prices tend to a lower
range. We quote California, choice, 9t9
l0c fair to good, 5@sc 2 10; New York Cream
cry. Pale y ID.
EGGS-At the moment the market is strong at
Ice z dozen for choice California. This frmer
tone is attributed to the fact that Eastern stock
is about exhausted. Buyers are cautious, how
ever as overland shipments are known to be on
the way, while the quantity that may possibly
come to hand is a matter of doubt Under such
circumstances, the feeling is anything but set
tied. Eastern in good condition would likely
sell to-day at 14c 2 Dozen
