SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.

/
| FLOUR-Wc quote net cash prices for Califor-
mia: Best Family, SIS 1904 10 q Dbl: Bakers
extra. S. 9O@4 10; Supcrfne, 81 SOFAS %.
WHEAT-The wet weather of the past two
days has necessarily tended to create an easier
| feeling, and temporarily check buying opera
tions. Light offerings for some time have pre-
vented any heavy purchasing, and it is not I'M
| likely that the late storm may be the means of
| inducing owners to part with a portion at least
| of their holdings. For day or two, however,
there will probably be a lull in trade until full
| knowledge is obtained of the extent of the
| rains. At the moment 81 So q ctl must be ac-
cepted as the top figure for standard shipping
grades
BARLEY-The market this morning held up
better than most people expected, considering
the good rain that occurred since the close of
Change last Saturday. No feed of desirable
quality conld be bought under S715c p ell, while
there seemed to be no great pressure to realize.
Dark qualities of course were to be had at lower
| figures. In Brewing there is no active move
| ment, though prices show fair steadiness at a
range of 95ctGS1 05 q ctl. Chevalier is quiet as
| general remark. Still custom could perhaps be
| found for fancy product above the prices we
quote, but offerings of this class are too small to
| occasion any activity in the general market.
Quotable at 81 goal % for standard; fair to
good bay, S1@l IN; fair to good coast, S5@9Oc
| q ctl.
| OATS-Holders continue to handle the market
with prudence. Offerings are fairly liberal to
| be sure, though not excessive, while there is
| active demand, and stocks work Off well So
| long as the present conservative way of supply
ing the market is observed, there is not likely to
| be any very marked lowering of figures No

to have arranged for the purchase of about
all stock offerings, so that the market will for

HOBS-Sm&ll demand on local account. No

FRUIT--The market is well stocked with APP
| pies, and it must be something of extra good
quality to bring over 81 2 box, and these ad-
vanced prices are only obtained in retail fashion.
Now that the holidays are over, buyers can have
Lady Apples at about their own prices There
| is fair representation of Pears, but custom is
found only for the more choice qualities. The
late storm has probably stopped all further ship
ments of Grapes this season. Liberal receipts
of Oranges have been coming to hand for
the past week, but there was a good proper
ton of windfalls among arrivals and such had
TO be sold at low prices. Even choice product
did not move OF as freely nor at as good prices
IS just before Christmas time. Mexican Lines
are still scarce and high. Offerings of native
and foreign Lemons are fair, meeting with mod
crate demand. We quote prices: Apples 50@
