NHEAT-As there is no Y no chance of evad-
ing taxation of grain in warehouses. the offer
ihgs are anything but free. Exporters however,
90 NOT seem to be worried in the premises. They
have bought literally during the past two or
three weeks. and have hurried loading in order
to get all product aboard before the LIST of March
that was possible. AS consequence, the clear
ances last month were quite large reaching
l,sloU0D centals. Yesterday half a dozen full
cargoes and one partial cargo were cleared at
the Clstom-h house, aggregating total of $4,000
centals, which is pretty extensive movement for
single day. More or less quietness is to be ex-
pected in grain circles for a few days, but it is
not believed that the market will remain pas
sive for any great length of time. At the mo-
ment 81 2S54 is about the current figure for ordi
nary No. grade, with 81 30 and perhaps 81 3l14
g ctl for an article of better and more choice
character.

BARLET-In this product there is not much
spot trading. Samples on the Produce Exchange
are few, though buyers can readily find stock if
they so desire. Feed of good quality can be had

portonateiy lower figures. In Brewing descrip-
tlons there Is steady busine- S. The local de-
mand is fair, and considerable quantities are
being sent East by rail and steamer. The Ora
NADIA sailed yesterday for Panama. having 5,000
cts on board in transit for New York. Prices
show but little variation, as most operators seem
content to barter at the range of 81 i0Gnl so q
ctl, which has been the ruling extreme for some
time.

OATS-Trade is light. while values have
somewhat soft tendency. Should receipts from
Oregon and northern Territories be as liberal in
the near future, lower prices can be expected.

BUTTER-The market continues in soft con-
diton aud prices have touched a still lower
level. Occasionally sale is made at frifling
advance on our fancy quotation, but such trade
is exceptional and cannot be accepted as an
index of the situation. Among other influences
that tend to depress the market may be noted
the increase in the dairy output of the State,
year from the southern counties and onethird
greater from Marin county. Another unfayor-
able circumstance is the fact that outlets are
less numerous than formerly, local supplies
coming nearer to filling the wants of many
places that formerly purchased literally in the
San Francisco market Then, again, the pres
ent reduction in railroad freights gives prospect
of Eastern Butter selling here at Ease p ID lower
than last season. Taken altogether, the i'm
mediate outlook cannot be considered promis-
ing, and slow, dragging market for a time is
unlikely We oiiotq Eappy OH
