SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.
The First Carload of New Wheat
Shown on 'Change.


SAN FRANCISCO, May 23d.
WHEAT-Receipts, II $50 sacks. There is
no improvement in the market. Prices are al
most nominal. The first carload of new wheat
was shown on Change to-day. 1t was from
Poso, a small, pinched Sonora, that would not
grade above No. 3, but the honor of buying
the first new wheat was open to contest, and
the lot put up at auction and purchased by
| Del Monte Milling Co. at 81 622 per 100
pounds. Certainly not on its merits, and a
! lively inquiry arises to know if this is to be
| a fair sample OF much of the Upper san
! Joaquin Valley crop, If so it promises very
| poor, both as to yield and quality. The noble,
| great ship Susquehanna is now loading and
| her charterer (G. W. McNear) is calling for
wheat bought on buyer season contract,
which natures May 3lst. This demand seems
| TO be the principle support to the local mar
! ket. Otherwise 81 Is per 100 pounds is
! probably full figure TOR No. /. shipping. Mill
ing wheat is worth 81 90 to 81 5.1a per 100
| pounds.
Speculation is not active New crop con-
| tracts are steady, but a drop of 2 cents = 100
| lbs took place in buyer season options at this
| mornings session. Early In the morning
| there were sales of 800 tons buyer season
! Wheat at 81 463sa1 AZ; 800 tons, seller 1892,
! 81 40, but at the regular IL A. NJ. session
500 tons, buyer season, sold at 81 4G@1 10;
| 800 tons, seller 1892, 81 405s@1 4OL; 100

| ternoon session sales OF 100 tons buyer sea-
| son, 81 1875; 400 tons, seller 1892, 81 4OA;
| 100 tons, buyer September, 81 42M.
Eastern and foreign markets were quiet and

steady; of coast, 36s Cd; nearly due, SOS Sd;

| BARLE1-Receipts As sacks Bay, 2,3I0
sacks Coast. Without any marked improve
ment in demand, holders were hrmer and
| buyers had to submit to full prices. Milers
| paid 971ac to 81 q 100 for good TO strictly
choice Feed. Some ordinary lots might have
| been had at 9oc. Brewing is so extremely
dull that it is difficult to effect sales at any
! thing over 81 p l00 although held at 81 O5.
! Speculation is increasing and Barley is the
! tavorite. Although no specially adverse re-
! ports have been received OF any injury to
grain during the past hot week, still there is
! less sanguine expectation of large increase
| in the crop. on Call Board 4, 100 tons, seller
