san FRANCISCO MARKET.
SAN FRANCISCO. March 10th
FLOUR-BusinesS is fair in volume. Local
trade is active and there is moderate shipping
movement. We quote; Best city extra. 81 25G
IS; medium, 50 5O@4 shipping supertine.
81 75G1@ 70 T. biol.
WHEAT-The market is in much better shape
than ii was week ago. The situation abroad
has improved II little in the meanwhile, and il
is mainly owing to this circumstance that local
values present Il more buoyant feeling. OF
course, the heavy export movement during the
month OF February largely reduced stocks III the
hands of growers, and this fact Is well Iemem-
bered when grain is now offered for sale. Hold
ers do not make any liberal exhibit OF samples.
though the inquiry continues somewhat general
Good shipping qualities can be readily placed at
81 325 q Ell, but there is not much disposition to
meet custom at this price. The asking figure
for an article of standard character is 81 - p
ctl, and this difference OF margin in the views
of contracting parties checks business to Il
greater or lesser extent.

San Francisco Produce Exchange were as fol-

BARLEY-NO trade of magnitude is in prog

fuctuation Holders of stocks are meeting Gus
tom on a basis of 81 % = ell for good feed quail
ties, but no lower figure viii be accepted. The
| market is moderately supplied, and "a stocks are
under good control there is not much proba-
bilty OF undue pressure of offerings. In Brew
ing descriptions there is regular movement for
local requirements, together with fair activity

| UATS-Stoeks are ample though they cannot
| be said to be excessive Trade at the moment is
confined wholly to immediate consum ptiye re-

Barley is held enables holders OF Oats to fairly
maintain values. We quote: Surprise and mill

CORN-A special rate for a lot of fifty cars
from Kansas City, last week is expected to lower
values OF Nebraska on the arrival of the Kansas
article. So long as competition and rivalry ex-
it between the different railroads, local dealers
anticipate an unsettled market with consequent
irreguarily in values. These imports from out
side directions are detrimental to trade in home
product. Business in California descriptions is
almost precuded, except in small way for
special milling purposes. We quote California

the price of Asparagus to-day, and it will not be

tumbling to a lower level and String Beans are
