SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.
SAN FRANCISCO. October 9Th.

SAN FRANCISCO. October Sth.
FLOUR-A cargo of 81 900 bbls goes to Hong
kong today by sailing vessels. We quote: Net
cash price for Family Extras, 81 25G14 so p
Dbl: Bakers Extras, 81 Is; Superfine 81 1908 10.
WHEAT-The recent arrival of feet of ships
has caused great activity in Wheat circles.
Holders generally seem willing to meet the ex-
port demand and considerable grain is passing
from the hands of the growers. Asking prices
have not advanced to any extent. Such action
would likely curtail the volume of trade. Still
there is good tone to the market and no soften
ing of values seems probable. For product that
is up to No. l standard there is prompt custom
at range of 81 Spool "a q ctl, with the usual
advance for something OF choice character.
BARLEY-Business in feed descriptions shows
some little improvement, but values keep easy.
Sellers, however. are pleased to have increased
movement, small though it be- Anything that
Will practically relieve the market of the large
stock on hand is acceptable. Offerings ofchoice
feed are quite scarce, and product of this class
Is not only wanted, but sells to much better ad-
vantage than the common article. Movement
In Brewing and Cheyalier has not been quite so
active OF late, not because of the want of buyers
but on account of the absence of desirable offer
ings. Good qualities of both these kinds are far
from plentiful. In this connection the follow
ing letter to a prominent local merchant dated
London, September 2lst, may be OF interest:
we are sorry to say that maltsters tell US
they notice an increasing disfavor toward the
use of this California Chevalier and Leith cor
respondents say the same of the Brewing. We
should very much like to be able to report the
reverse, and this might perhaps be possible if
your farmers exercised greater discrimination
IN the selection of their seed and cultivated
their crops more highly. The threshing and
cleaning might also be more thoroughly done;
so many broken grains, Black Oats, ETC., appear
ing in the sample All these points the masters
attach great Importance to-" We quote prices

OAlS-A better demand within dav tyuO
has caused somewhat of a stir in the Dat market.
Sales have been prompt and liberal, while a
slight appreciation in values has resulted.
There is talk of shipping orders being on the
market, the filling of which has perhaps helped
IN stimulating the situation. We quote prices

FRUIT - The Watermelon season is about
over. Cantaloupes are in poor demand though
a really choice article finds quick custom at an
advance on quotations. The market is crowded
with common Apples, which can be had at al
most any figure that buyers choose TO pay.
Pears are not in favor. The Bartlett variety

with duh market, coming mostly in bad
order. Offerings OF Plums are light, while the
quality is not choice. Grapes are largely neg
lected and stock that is not in prime order gees

Ger aud Country Merchant says: "ReporTs
from packing points indicate that producers are
losing no time in getting this seasons crop into
distributing ceniers The wisdom of seeking
an early market Tor Raisins is quite apparent,
as the bulk of the con, umption is in the early
winter months. The laieness of the Malaga
crop is operating fsvorably for the California
product The Opticokis promising for the entire

already over 200 600 boxes have gone forward
