SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.

| FLOUR-Is being turned out freely from the
several mills. Prices cannot be termed strong,
and buyers of round lots might obtain slight
| concessions. Net cash price for California Best
| Family, S4@4 10 Bakers extra, s4G4 10 2 Dbl;
| Superfine, 81 S0@n3 25.
| WHEAT-It is not an easy task to correctly
| define the sample market at the moment. There
is a general feeling of weakness, and yet there
| is no pressure of desirable product Buyers
however, are tlmid, and are not inclined to pur-
chase ahead. Few parties on Change this morn
| ing talked over 81 80 p ell, and even at this
stated quotation there did not seem to be ready
| custom of any great proportions. On the other
| hand, it is doubtful if holders would meet the
| market on such basis. The general asking
price for standard shipping is 81 321$ p ctl, and
sellers are rather tenacious in the premises, as
it is understood there is no large surplus of this
| particular grade.
| BARLEY-Business has been almost at a.
standstill for some days. The market, however,
| shows less signs of depression than week ago.
| Although no one attempts to explain the reason
| there is an improved feeling and holders have
| greater confidence in the future For feed de-
| scriptions, bottom prices are believed to have
| been touched, and many dealers are hopeful of
| a small advance, although not expecting any
great rise. Brewing is shaping little better fol
| sellers, being wanted for local use 1t is only
| the more choice quality, however, that at pres
| ent attracts attention. In regard to Cheyalier
| there is little encouraging to be said. There is
| no prime stock on the market, and an order of
| any extent of this grade could not easily be
| filed, If at all. We quote as follows: Feed,

| OATS-The market shows frmness for the
| better grades, and medium qualities are a triie
| steadier in sympathy. The receipts are light

find in the market. In fact, it is almost useless
