SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.
SAN FRANCISCO. March 18th

SAN FRANCISCO. March 18th.
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, 1904 10 q bbl
Superfine, 81 S0@3 25.
WHEAT-It is not an easy task to correctly
define the sample market at the moment. There
is general feeling of weakness, and yet there
is no pressure of desirable product Buyers,
however, are t1mid, and are not inclined to pur-
chase ahead. Few parties on Change this morn
ing talked over 81 30 p ctl, 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 3215 q 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 a 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 foI
sellers, being wanted for local use. 1t is only
the more choice quality, however, that at pres
ent attracts attention. In regard to CheValier
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,
good to choice, 771@@S0c; common, 7219(175c
Brewing, S5@971ac; Cheyalier 81 25 for Stsnd-
ard; fair to good bay, S1@1 70; tair 10 good
coast S5G90c 2 ctl.
OATS-The market shows firmness for the
better grades, and medium qualities are a trife
steadier in sympathy. The receipts are light
and no heavy arrivals are expected in the neal
future. Sellers are not making very liberal eX-
hibit, and no pressure to realize is apparent
Surprise, 81 65dl 20; choice feed and milling,

but the variations in values are not wide. Prices
have been somewhat spasmodic of late, going
up a tritle one day, and declining i'll proportion
on the next. At the moment the quotation is
