Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1888-02-02


FLOUR Business is of fairly brisk character.
We quote: Net cash prices for California: Best
Family, S4d4 10; Bakers extra, S4@4 10 y
Dbl; superfine, So SO@3 25 p Dbl.
WHEAT-The market shows no very active
symptoms. Moist weather doubtless influence
to some extent the movements of operators.
With no pressing demand from abroad, shippers
are less inclined to purchase for export purposes
very freely in the face of good and general
rain-storm. Such incidentals tend TO weaken to-
situation at almost any time and the prospect for
a decline In quotations, under present surround
ings, is more probable when the inquiry is light
than when 1t is brisk and active. THERE'S fairly
liberal array of offerings, but there is no large
quantity of really choice product. Most of the
samples submitted are of medium and offgrade
qualities. Whatever demand may exist, calls for
first-class article. Quicker sale is found for the
more choice offerings than anything else Trans
actions negotiated on basis of 81 IS p ctl
for standard quality.
BARLEY-With continued rain its is hardly
possible for feed descriptions to show any
strength. The top of the market in this line is
soc q ctl, with no inclination to purchase ahead.
Holders do not believe that prices can go any
lower, and are therefore reconciled to slow
trade at the moment, In the hope that n change
in their favor will occur in due season. Brew
ing is in fairly good request. Dealers have
promptly met the Eastern demand without al
tempting to advance prices, and such action has
been Of good service in helping to relieve the
market of rather heavy surplus consid ar
able amount has been bought, and freight en-
gagged for the same on several successive
Panama steamers. Much stocA has been sent
overland. The idea is TO get as much Brewing
Barley in New York as possible in time for the
mailing season. There has been some move
ment i'll Chevalier of late. Some second-grade
lots have been taken for the Colonies. and it is
understood that round lots of standard are Sc
cured on English account II report be true,
higher prices than we quote have been paid for
the better article. Figures are given as high as
81 so and even at 81 3212 is limited at. 1t should
be understood that there are one or two growers
who take more than usual pride in harvesting
their CROPS, Tee grain is sieved and cleaned so
thoroughly as to render It more than usually
attractive Such an article ought to command a
comparatively fancy price. All demands are
about satisfied now, and the market has easier
tone. We quote ms follows: Feed, 7719iG SOC;
Brewing, 9Oc6Sl; Chevalier 81 % for standard;
SJ@S5c p ctl.
OATS-Trade is of rather dragging nature as
buyers will take no more thansvill meet their
pressing necessities. supplies are more than
plentiful, but stocks remain under good control

determination not to force business Values,
however, are less firm. We quote as follows:
