| WHEAT-Business this week has been some
whatlight. Exporters have been busy in getting
| to sea all vessels for which cargoes had been
| previously secured. The number of ships that
| have cleared at the Custom-house since Monday
| foots up not less than fourteen, carrying an ag-
| gregate total of 900 centals. The fact that
| taxes are now added to stocks in warehouse has
| prevented any liberal array of offerings, while
prices have not only kept steady, but have
| shown some little more strength. The lowest
| figure at which No. shipping quality can be
| obtained is 81 2S54, with many sellers holding
out tor 81 so . ct1. Milling grades bring adj
vanced rates.

San Francisco Produce Exchange were as fol-
| lows:

BARLEI-Continues quiet and easy. Move
| ment by steamer and rail the Eastern centcrs
| has helped to lower stocks in warehouses both
| i'll town and country. but this circumstance has
not helped values, which are rather soft at the
moment The best quality of feed will not
bring over 81 %, and there seems to be no great
desire to purchase literally at even this rate

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES was in demand
this morning. and arrivals were promptly dis
posed of at full rates. Only one sack of String
Beans reached market selling at 25c q 10, which
is fancy price, and no correct guide to values
Good Tomatoes command high prices though
there is more or less poor quality, for which
buyers are not readily found at any figure. Rhu-
barb made pretty fair exhibit to-day, but was
slow of sale, as dealers would not sell below
our quotations, and buyers were unwilling to
pay asking prices. Should there be no receipts
Tomorrow values will be sustained; otherwise
decline is not improbable. We quote As
