SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.
SAN FRANcIsoo. March 18th.

d. 4,
shipping supertine. 81 75@3 70 . Dbl.
WHEAT-The market has been showing
strengthing symptoms all the week, and a slight
advance in prices has resulted. There is not
much business, to be sure. but then there are
no particularly heavy stocks in the hands of
growers, so that movement under any clrcum-
stances would necessarily be more or less linn
tied. Holders are firm in their views. and will
not part with grain of standard quality below
81 3l14 2 ctl. For anything not quite up to No.
grade, s. 30 would probably be paid. On
Change this morning sales were effected at
81 SEA 2 ctl, the quality being better than
standard.
Call Board sales at the morning session of the
San Francisco Produce Exchange were as fol
lows:
Buyer season-soo tons, 81 3ss4; 200. 81 s3s5s;

BARLEY-If there be any advantage in the
situation, il is in favor of sellers. Stocks are
light and they are well under control Feed
was offered to-day at 81 1884 z ctl but, while
there was no prompt response, it is doubtful if
the lot could be duplicated below 81 % q ctl
At the moment It looks as if this latter figure
would rule as the established price In u day or
two. The movement in Brewing descriptions
continues regular, without any deviation of
note in values In giving the range at 81 4et0
90 1t should be remarked that the higher rate
is asked for prime product. Sales at the out
side quotation are few, but buyers have no
alternative but to pay the price demanded for
an article OF strictly choice character.

OATS-The market sti wears an easy tone.
Stocks are liberal, while the demand is not
pressing, and buyers can better supply all wants
to their satisfaction both in regard to selection
and price. We quote: Surprise and milling,
81 S5ae1 40; No. l, 81 22119@I IS common grades.
81 171&01 20 q ctl.
COKN-The market for common grades is
controlled largely by imports from Nebraska.
For milling purposes, the California product
alone seems to be wanted. Even the home
article, however must be perfectly dry to secure
milling custom: Damp parcels are neglected.
There is very little desirable small Yellow on
the market, and some holders ask an advance
on our figures. California White 81 10@1 Is;
Yellow, 81 2O91 271aa; Nebraska, 95caSl p ctl

FRU1T-Some few baskets of Straw berries ar
rived to-day, selling at soc p bskt There was
also another small consignment OF Raspberries,
but they were in bad order, and custom was slow
at S5fd40c y bskt. Oranges keep well cleaned
up. Railroad shipments prevent Che local market
from being crowded with this variety. Lines
and Lemons meet with fair inquiry. Oranges,

BUTTER-There is some little packing in
progress. and more or less stock is being ship
ped by rail to distant markets. 1t is mainly
owing TO these two circumstances that even
the present low prices are kept at all steady.
The demand for consumption is considerably
below the supply, and the immediate out
look is not favorable for any improvement

accumulation of stock. The market. however
has a weak tendency. We quote: California
