SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.
SAN ERANcIscn OntnE

L
TLOUR-Prices have kept stationary for
quite n while The tone of the market has
been rather Of firm character, and just now it
looks as if the situation would for a time
remain in favor Of sellers. Net cash prices for
Family Extras. S5@5 20 q bbl; Bakers Ex-
tras, So 1906 25; Superfne, So 65@3 90.
WHEAT-The season for heavy buying is
about over, the bulk of the crop having passed
from the control of growers. As a conse-
quence, the shipping element is pretty well
furnished ahead and is not looking around
much for opportunities to buy. AT the same
time, while offerings can be said to be moder-
ately free, there is no pressure to realize and
prices hold up rather firmly If current quota
tions at distant centers be taken into consider
alton by way of comparison. Quotable at
81 6614 TO 81 6715 = ctl, with 81 6S$4 for
choice: milling, 81 5O@1 721% = ctl.
BARLEY-Ihere have been heavy arrivals
of late and some dealers predict q decline in
prices. Certainly, the situation does not de-
velop any marked strength, but, then, no seri-
Gus tumble Is expected. The market is weak
for feed qualities and prices may drop little.
Brewing grades hold up rather steadily be-
cause OF quiet inquiry ON shipping account.

does not go begging, as buyers are on hand for
an article such as is wanted. We quote: Feed,
81 021z9l o73a; with 81 osI for choice;

81 071201 121& = ctl.
OA1S-In spite OF liberal receipts from do
mestic sources, and also from the northern
coast, the market for Oats presents healthy
tone. The demand is both good and general,
and business is of goodly proportions. Buy
ers hold OF more or less, in hopes Of securing
concessions. Stocks, however, are too well
controlled, and any reduction on current
rates is altogether unlikely just now. We
quote prices as follows: Surprise, 81 40@
