SAN FRANCISCO. April 18th.


FL0UR-Good local trade with moderate in
quiry for shipment Net cash price for Cali
fornia: Best FANNY, s. 90@4; Bakers extra,
S. 5000 p bbl Supertne, 81 1908 ID.
WHEAT-The market is quiet, though firm
The situation is an anomalous one. While there
is strong and advancing tone to Wheat no gen.
eral disposition is shown TO purchase, so that
sellers are placed in peculiar position. Of
course, there is some trading, but it is only I'M
der compulsion. 1t is a noticeable fact, how
ever that very little first quality Wheat is sub
mitted in the open market. For stock of this
character 81 So 2 ctl is the asking figure, and
holders are not inclined to make any abate-
ment. Light sales were negotiated on this basis
to-day miller being the buyer. Parcels of
choice or fancy nature are held even higher. AT
the same time an article of good quality is
offered at 81 311a p ctl without bringing out
prompt response. Spot sales in lots of 100 tons
were made in the Call Board this week at 81 3411a
al Si34 p ctl, seasons storage paid which
must be accepted as representative transactions.
BARLEY-Reported sales to-day OF some ], 500
bags feed at PIC q etl is the best evidence that
desirable article is worth full quotations.
Movement in Brewing is slow, as custom is con-
fined wholly to local trade Troubles at Eastern
breweries destroy all immediate prospect of
business from that direction. For Chevalier
there is no demand, and few holders even
trouble to place it among offerings just at the
moment. We quote as follows: Feed good TO
choice, S09S21ac; common, 75@771ac; Brewing,
S5@921ac; Chevalier, good to choice 81 20A1 80;

GETABLFS-Asparagus shapes more IA
vorably for buyers as receipts of other seasonal
BILE kinds make more liberal exhibit. Arrivals
of Asparagus this week have been very large
Green Peas of common quality are now in such
free supply that sales are made by the sack.
Rhubarb is in very good demand. Cucumbers
move off slowly. Fair inquiry prevails for po-
tatoes, but arrivals are very light and move
ment is limited in consequence We quote: AS
