SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.
SAN FRANCISCO. April Z

SAN FRANCISCO. April Sd.
FLOUR-There is good demand but prices are
easy, as the market is well furnished. Within a
week some 1900 bbls have been received from
Oregon. Net cash price for California: Best
Family, SO 1904; Bakers extra, IS 9094 q Dbl;
supertine, 81 1908 15
WHEAT-There is no inquiry from shippers
and the market is, therefore, void of activity
In the absence of business, there is no oppor-
tunity to furnish guiding quotations from actual
sales As consequence, there is diversity of
views as to values. The more general figure re-
ported is 81 80 9.ctl, though admissions are sub
sequently made that perhaps 81 3l14 or 81 32%
might be paid in emergency. The fact is, all
strictly No: Wheat is under good control and
FIRMLY held. Buyers of cargo lots would have to
pay 81 321s, and it is this fact that stops export
trade, because the market at Liverpool will not
justify shipping at such quotation.
BAkLE1IRecent rains are understood to
have offset the bad effects of the previous north
winds, and the market has relapsed into easy
condition. 1t must be pretty fine and bright feed
to bring our top quotation. At the same time, it
should be stated that the market is not burdened
with this class of stock. Medium qualities make
much more liberal representation, but are in
less favor For brewing Barley of the better
grade there is fair local custom, without any
change in quotations. No movement in Cheva-
lier. There is demand for standard quality, but
1t cannot be met Recent purchasers to the ex-
tent of 500 tons for Australia have drained the
Feed, good to choice, 759771ac; common 700
721ac; Brewing, D9971ac; Chevalier, good to
choice 81 2O@1 30; common, s5@95c p ctl.
OATS-Receipts last week were about the
largest of the season. The market is naturally
weak in sympathy with everything else in the
feed line, while heavy arrivals tend to further
depress matters. For some months the holding
interest have stood under quotations and by
judicious action worked off goodly quantities at
prices that perhaps would never have been OBJ
tanned if stocks had not been under strong con-
troll. The situation just now is in more accom-
modating shape for buyers, and concessions are
made, to secure custom, on all kinds of stock ex-
cept Surprise, which are not III excessive supply

81 3091 IS y ctl.
