SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.

L
FLOUR-The Abyssinia, which sailed yester-
day for China AMI Japan, via British Columbia
carried no Flour from this port. She will prob
ably take considerable quantity aboard at Van
couver Net cash price Tor California: Extras,
81 2564 80 2 Dbl Superhne, So 90@S Is.
WHEAT-No shipping trade in progress. 1t is
too near the close of the harvest year for any
movement to spring I'D in this direction until
the new harvest begins to come forward Mill
ers are purchasing but lightly. Interest at the
moment is centered in speculative operations
and Call Board transactions are accepted as au-
thority for values of spot parceis From 81 50
TO 81 371a q ctl is about the full range for lots
that will pass inspection standard.
BARLEY-The situation is not favorable for
sellers. Crop prospects have improved so much
of late that extensive trading in cereals has
stopped, and Barley comes in for its full share
of neglect. Feed is offered freely every day and
receives fair amount of attention, but sales are
readily harmonic as TO values. Brewing is
neglected, there being no outside demand
while local custom is of Indifferent character
We quote: Good 10 choice, Feed, 81 1stQ.S2I5c T:
common, soc; Brewing, s715c@Sl 2 ctl.
OATS-Fancy descriptions are in light supply
and held with frmness, though the demand is
not pressing. For medium and common quail
ties the inquiry is light and improvement slow
and dragging. Prices are easy and sales at out
side figures not frequent. We quote: Surprise

CORN-Yellow is in fair supply, but offerings
are more or less neglected and sales are few
while values are not strong. Quotable at 81 321%

VEGETABLES-Receip of Green Corn are
limited. Asparagus finds good custom at steady
rates. Green Peas and String Beans make good
exhibit and are both in fair demand. Squash is
well represented, being of fine quality. Toma-
toes are not worth a quotation at present. Re
ceipts are slim and mostly so very poor as to be
unstable. CucumbeIs continue in large supply.

day for the first time this season. Arrivals were

hand little more freely but are yet too green to
attract attention. A light consignment of APP
pies from New Zealand has been on the market
for some DAYS, offering at fancy prices, say 81 to
s. = box. Receipts of Cherries to-day We're not
ably large. causing decline in prices which
would have been more positive had the weather
not been cool. Large quantities were carried
over. Raspberries and Strawberries are rather
in excess of trade needs, and peddlers have good
chance to buy. Cherry Plums and Apricots are

BUTTER-Although there is no change to re-
port in quotations, the market is not SO firm a. a
few days ago. Comparatively high selling prices
caused more liberal shipments from the several
diaries, and local commission merchants had to
shade on asking figures to prevent accumulation.
At the moment the demand is barely equal TO the
supply. If packing operations should stop in
the interior there would likely be decline in
Butter quotations. Dealers, however, do not
expect such contingency The impression
seems to be general that tor q little while to
come there will be no great variation in prices.
We quote as follows: Fancy, 2s92s1Sc; good to
choice. 26@273ae; common, 23G25c; store lots,
1715e9223Sc; Eastern, 17G2lc p 70.
CHEESE-Receipts are far from excessive, and
sellers are firm in asking prices. The situation
is decidedly agasnst the consuming interest.
We quote as follows: Good to choice, 1870
lie; common, grades. S9l0c; Eastern, ordi-
nary to fine, 100l5c 2 b.
EGGS-The market is heavily stocked with
the Eastern article and so long as this surfeit
lasts there is but lit e hope for improvement in
prices tor domestic product. Occasionally a box
or so of extra fine quality sells above quota
tions, but this is exceptional. We quote
prices: California, 2oc for select ranch, and
l7e119c 2 dozen for store lots; Eastern, l5G16c
2 dozen.
WOOL-lhere has been some business the
past week, both for shipping and securing. and
sales have been fairly liberal. The clip for the
season from all California points, al d from Ore
gon as far as received is said to be very inferior
as rule. Woods are short, poor and shrinky-
Dealers say that prices can be quoted lower
than al any former time on this coast. The Cali
fornia clip is pretty well II from all sections,
