SAN FRANCIsCo MARKET.
SAN FRANc1sco. December 14tt

FIOUR-Better prices prevail. Net cash
prices for California Best Family, 81 45@4 55 u
Dbl; Bakers extra, 81 25 to 81 40; Superfne,
81 sO@S. When cash is not paid, 25c is added to
quotations.
WHEAr-The local market lacks activity,
though values are steady and firm. There is
more or less talk about liberal buying in the
country, but nothing definite is furnished in the
shape of positive transactions. The prevailing
fine weather is an important factor in giving
strength to the situation. Under existing cir
cumstances holders are not disposed to press
sales though few days of heavy rain might
occasion a different course of action. For ordi-
nary No. shipping quality 81 AZ q ctl is the
buying limit, though better grades can be placed
at 81 1901 so Q ctl.

81 493s; 900, 81 40 p ctl.
BARLEY-Opinions differ as to values. Re-
ceipts continue light, and the market derives
more strength from this fact than from any
great volume of trade. Strictly choice Feed is
held at 81 071% but buyers are few at anything
over 81 05, while sl91 021a q ctl is about the
range for stock of less desirable character. For
Brewing descriptions the market is unsettled
and feverish. Rumors are current that English
orders are on the market for shipment by rail to
the Atlantic seaboard and thence to destination.
Confirmation of these reports is something not
yet obtained. 1t should be remembered, how
ever. that for this class of trade only stock
wholly free of blemish will be accepted, and
buyers would probablypay above our figures for
lots that would suit. Local operations are light,
as dealers are generally well stocked. Quotable
at 81 15@1 ~ p ctl for choice grades, and Il 10
al 1215 p ctl for fair to good qualities.
0ATS-Buyers do not come forward freely,
and trade is anything but extensive. The mar
ket is rather abundantly stocked, and it is only
by judicious handling of the several offerings
that prices are sustained Kansas is now fgur-
ing as contributor in this line, two shipments
of Oats from that direction having already ar
rived this week. Oregon and Washington Ter
ritory continue to ship largely. We quote as
follows: California feed, 81 271E@1 3719; good

FRUiT-No Berries have been received TINS
week, and the season can be considered as over
| though few lots may yet come forward during
the next We elk or TWO. Oranges are becoming
the feature Of the market. Arrivals are fairly
| free, while the quality is generally good. APP
pies are quite plentiful, the exhibit OF oregon
and Eastern each being large. Choice Pears are
scarce and ready custom IS found foT desirable
| offerings. Grapes make quite respectable dis
| play though there is a marked difference IN
quality, which accounts for the rather Wlde mar
