SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.
San FRANc1sco. sentemher :

FL0UR-The China steamer that will sail at
the close of the week is not expected to take out
any large amount of Flour, owing to both
higher prices for the article and to advanced
charges on freight. We quote Net cash price
for Family Extras, 81 1904 SIS p bbl: Bakers
Extras, 81 50@D4 65; Superfne. s3 30 to So 65.
wHEAT-The upward movement in the sam
pie market has received a temporary check.
shipmasters are demanding higher freights,
and exporters claim that they cannot dc bust
ness at existing figures in Liverpool unless local
sellers of Wheat make concessions from former
asking prices. The buying limit has conse-
quently been lowered to 81 IS y ctl as an ex-
treme for the better class of shipping quality.
BARLEY-The feature of the ma .ket at the
moment is q brisk inquiry for Chevalier for
shipment. Nothing but frst-class quality is
wanted, and for such an article buyers seem will
ing to pay more liberal rates than have been
current of late. Common grades will not be ac
ceDted, and, fortunately, offerings of this char
acter are few and small. Movement in feed is
light for ordinary.purposes, though round lots
contracts Occasionally miller pays $3.50 for
fancy lot of small proportions. Brewing Is
coming into more prominent recognition with
prices shaping little more in favor of sellers.
We quote as follows: No. l Feed, S21zc; COM
mon grades, 79lz@s G Brewing, .s29y71ac for
fair to good Chevalier, Sl@l 25 tor common
and 81 5o@1 521a p ctl for good to choice.

and dealers are hopeful that better prices will
soon prevail. We quote Surprise, 81 $50
40; milling. 81 27Ki choice feed. 81 Is I;
@1 Is; Gray, 81 lO@l i211 . ctl ; Black, SIG
l 10 p ctl.
CoRNlTrade continues light. Low prices do
not seem to invite enstom, and any pressure to
force business would necessarily cause further
decline. We quote: Yellow, 81 221z1l IS;
White, 81 35@f As p ctl

sEEDs-Mustard is somewhat firmly held.

divert the situation more in their favor We

@s<c . 8 Flax 81 25@2 Is : ctl ~
MlDDLINGS-The arrival of l. $50 bags Oregon

FRuIT-All kinds of low grade fruit are neg
lected, and such stock has TO be offered pretty
cheap to find custom. Choice Peaches are not
plentiful. Apples that can be elsssed as fancy
are also scarce. Bartlett Pears without blemish
command good prices. Piums are in less heavy
supply, ana there is not so much surplus for ped
ding trade Berries find customary sale Grapes
are coming in with much freedom, and stock
accumulates, though dealers offer to sell cheap
Watermelons have seldom been so low in price

in local circles and transactions have been any
thing but large. 1t is principally for the reason,
however, that holders of Wools are very firm In
their views and decline to sell literally except
on their own terms. Buyers take Woods fret ly
when they can get such stock as they want at
their particular estimate Of value but they are
cautious in movement on any other basis.
Therefore trade Is of quiet character. while
stocks of all good Woods are held with firmness.
Reported sales of 100000 lbs spring and fail on
private terms, We quote spring
