Weekly Review of the San Francisco
Market.
The Favorable Weather for Matur-
ing Crops Creates More
Confidence.
Especial Correspondence REcoRD-US1oS.l

Ourlng Ghe week under review trade mas
been fairly active in all lines. Favorable
weather FOR maturing crops IS creating more
confidence and doing no little in dispelling
the clouds of uncertainty and general un-
easiness. With full return of confidence we
can reasonably look for much better times.
AS an evidence of returning confidence we
Will state that accommodations are more
readlly secured at bank and from outside cap
ltaIlsts. Considerable money has been secured
IN London, lately, for loaning and invest
ment in this State. The rates of interest in
England, Germany and France are lower than
known for years. In New York there is a
plethora of funds and low rates of interest.
Several railway companies disbursed this
week, in New York over S2S, 100000 in pay
ment of interest and dividends. In next
month the sum will be still larger. The dis
bursements in New York in next month by
railroads and other incorporated companies,
city, State and National, viii run well up, if
not over, S1OO,OOo,o0O. Silver was shade
lower to-day, but the undertone is strong.
TONNAGE MOVEMENTS
There has been more doing in charters, with
an improvement in rates. a leading COM
merciaI exchange says that the freight mar
ket for the new season promises to be some
what higher than current rates indicate, but
few, if any look for material increase, as
freights in other directions are not particu-
larly attractive, and this port is being sought
by a large fleet, dependent on outward
freights for profit. Charters the past week
were as high as 27s Cd for handy-sized iron
vessel to the U. K, with favorable options.
The Wheat tonnage in port Is as follows: En-
gagged, 90, 129 tons; engaged for new crop
loading, 16,S79 tons; disengaged, III, $40
tons. Total, ISL, 1873 tons register, equal to
257, ,342 tons carrying capacity. Tonnage on
the way aggregate 257,275 tons register,
equal to carrying capacity of 49, 1867 tons

40 sacks.
WHEAT - The market has been dull
throughout the week, owing TO buyers trying
TO get further concessions. With harvesting
well under way in several localities, exporters
are confident of forcing sellers to let go at
lower prices. So far we are able to learn
there is nothing to warrant farmers selling at
less than 81 45@1 so for good to choice ship
ping, Port Costa delivery; but there is every
thing 10 warrant the belief in better prices
before the fail months pass. The crop at the
East will be considerably less than it was in
last year, as will the Indian crop. The in
crease in European crops will not near equal
the above two shortages. Beside this the corn
crop in the United States will be about 25
per cent less this year than it was in 1891. 1t
2 Is asserted by well-informed hnanciers that
silver will advance. If this opinion proves to
be correct thus Indian and Russian Wheat
will cost more laid down in England, France
and Germany. Higher cost of Russian and
Indian Wheat means better prices for Aneri-
can. Our market Is quoted by buyers as fol-
good; choice to gilt-edged, 81 3714@1 4114;;
mi ling, 81 421as91 40 for fair 10 good;
81 4554@1 521a for choice to gilt-edged.

BARLEY-The strong bear pressure here
tofore reported has not been relaxed but if
anything, it is more pronounced. The in
creased stock in the State this year compared
with stocks held at the Lifetime in 1891. is
used as a lever to depress prices as is also the
very favorable prospects for a large crop The
bears are torgetfuI of the fact that the crop
east of the Rocky Mountains is short, while
the English crop will be again light The
market is weak at the following quotations:
Feed, fair to good, 921a@95c; choice to extra

OATS-Tne market has been very STEADY.
The receipts have not equaled the demand,
which necessitates sellers drawing on the re-

The market was strong and higher the fore
