SAN rRANCIsCo MARKET.

SAN FRASCISCO. August lSt.
FLOUR-Trade continues of fair magnitude,
while prices show fiTmness. We quote: Net
cash price for California Extras, 404 % 2 bbl (;
SupeTdne. 81 90tD3 70.
WHEAT-There is no very lively market,
though the situation is more favorable for the
selling interest than IN some time. The trouble
at the moment is the want OF ships ready for
loading. If such accommodations were at hand
there would be quite brisk trading all round.
AS it is, shippers are not inclined 10 do much
buying ahead, and marked activity is therefore
not possible under such circumstances. Good
shipping grades that come up TO standard are
quotahle at 81 40C01 Az 4 ctl, with holders of
choice asking 81 121a 3 ctl Sanguine operators
talk higher figures, and their ideas might be
realized if a liberal amount of immediate ton
mage were available. Offerings are not excess
i've, though they are moderately free and are
| likely TO continue so during the coming month.
BARLEi-No trade of consequence is in pro-
gress in this article. Offerings of old feed are
fairly canvassed, but sales light, as the in
quiry is only on local account, and this class of
| custom Is satisfied without creating anything
| like positive activity. New Feed is held above
quotations, and Is not being pressed. More or
| less business is transacted in both old and new
| Brewing every day. Purchases of new are
| follows: No. 1 Feed, 7712@S0c; common
grades, 75c. Brewing. S5G95c for fair to choice;
Chevalier, 81 . to 81 30 y ctl.
OATS-The market is dull and weak. New
California Oats are coming forward, though not
being considered formidable competitor, as
| the quality is not what might be termed first
the arrival of nearly 600 ctls this morning from
Oregon and Washington Territory further In
creased the amount III first hands. 1t can be seen
| that the market is pretty well handicapped, and
reported softer tone to values is therefore less
a matter of surprise. We quote Surprise, 81 50
al 5215; milling, 81 S59l 40; choice feed, 81 321

HCPS-The outlook for the English crop is not
| promising owing to bad weather The German
crop is said to be in good condition. The yield
| of New York State is expected to be less than
last year If reports are to be relied on. In the
way of local business there is nothing to re-
mark The same dullness exists that has pre-
| vailed for months. Market nominally quotable

ments. White Seetarines are no. in favor
