SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 18th

DAN fRANClSCO, April llIl.
FLOUR-Market weak Net cash price for
California: Best Family, IS 1904: Bakers
extra. 50 90@4 2 Dbl; Superfne, 81 70@S Is.
WHEAT-The situation is very quiet one.
There is no inquiry on the part of shippers, and
when this interest declines operating the
market must necessarily become dull and mac
tive. Very little choice stock is to be found on
the open market, while asking prices for this
class OF product are so far above the views of
buyers as to preclude all possibility of trading.
Lowgrade Wheat constitutes the bulk of offer
ings, and, although obtainable at low figures, is
in poor favor with buyers. No. l Wheat, suit
able for delivery on Call Board contracts, will
hardly bring 81 2T15 p ctl, and shippers are not
warranted in paying higher figures when for
eign markets and local freights are taken into
consideration. At the same time few holders
are willing to sell standard Wheat below 81 80
. ctl while choice qualities are held at 81 SIX,
and 81 So is asked for something extra.
Misunderstanding of feed descriptions are
liberal and the situation is not favorable TO sell
ers. The demand is light and slow and some
dealers almost tire of submitting offerings.
Movement in Brewing is no better In fact for
this quality the market may be said to be life
less Local brewers are canvassed with almost
daily pertinacity, but results in the way OF sales
are quite meager Our top quotation is an ex-
treme figure and it would have to be a fancy
article to command it. No attention whatever
is given to Chevalier, now that all of strictly
choice character has BEEN sold We quote
prices as follows: Feed good to choice
75@771ac; common, 70@f21ac; Brewing, $50

OATS-Choice Surprise alone shows strength.
The other kinds have weak tendency. Stocks
are more than liberal, so to speak, and pressure
to sell would cause further lowering OF values
