SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 18th.
FLOUR-The market has not varied in price
for Il long time. Trade is good and movement
keeps steady and regular We quote Best
City Extra, "a 25@4 so; medium, So 50@4;
shipping superfine, 81 75@3 70 p Dbl.
WHEAT-The situation at distant centers
presents fair steadiness, but there is nothing To
warrant the presumption of increased activity
or better prices in the near future. As Il con L.
quence the local market is more or less sluggish.
shippers are in the market all the time, but they
take matters leisurely and do but little sam
ping. on the other hand, it is to be remarked
that sellers not numerous, and stocks are
not being pressed for sale. For ordinary ship
ping quality / 81 = ell is the full buying limit
though Il better article will be taken Mt 81 32i3 a
! 1914. MilleTs impart some activity to choice
grades, paying as high as 81 50 3 ell for >elec-
lions.
The London circular of Harris Bros dated
April 10Th, says: " After q dry and sunny Easter
we have to-day cold northeast wind. with snow
showers which it is hoped will soon pass of, as
warm, showery weather is now, needed for all
growing crops The holidays have, as usual,
interieTed with business in Wheat, but there is
very little alteration in prices since week
ago.

VEGETABLES-No new varieties have ap-
peared this week. Receipts of Asparagus are
less free, though prices remain easy, as liberal
supplies of other descriptions prevent any buoy
ancy. To-days arrivals were barely $50 boxes.
Green Peas continue to be well represented the
over 100 bags. String Beans were in excess of
market needs to-day and lower prices pre-
vailed. Rhubarb comes along with regularity
to the extent of between 80 and 10 boxes each
day. We quote as follows: Asparagus 75c

FRUIT-Apricots arc in light supply, but do
not meet with prompt custom. Cherries are the
most prominent feature of the market at the
moment the receipts this morning reaching
2,llS boxes. Strawberries sell well, as supplies
are but moderate not exceeding to-day go
v drag
somewhat. CuUants are also dull of sale,
though offerings are fairly ripe, but asking
prices are as yet too high to invite general con-
sumption. Gooseberries are largely neglected.
Figs have been seen only once or twice this
season. We quote Aprcots. 15CaISc p H.

BUTTER-The market continues in an I'M
satisfactory shape for sellers. There is surieit
of stocks, and it is almost impossible to place
the bulk OF offerings ut what might be deemed
reasonable prices Even brands of favorite
character are sometimes shaded to secure i'm
mediate custom. so great is the desire of deal
ers TO clean up consignments. Receipts promise
to be heavy for some time to come. We quote :
