COM MMERClAL,
SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.

Well supplied and not disposed TO make nur
chases. For No. Shipping at Port Costa
81 46A@1 AN is a full quotation, while
miners ma an ample supply of choice quail
lty at 81 OH. The rainfall of the past thirty
SIX hours has been very general over the
"hoIe state, proVldentially so in the San Joa-
yum Failey' Where the grain began to suffer.
Wheat everywhere is so well headed out that
the size OF the heads will hardly increase. but
such favorable weather and refreshing showers
VIII Ill out the berry and tend largely to in
crease the aggregate product of the season.
MANY OF our dealers are confident that this
ram viii add at least 100000 tons to the
ahuclpations Of week ago. The Eastern and
iofelgh markets show no indication at pres
ehI OF improvement. Wheat is quoted firm
put quiet. On the Call Board there was an
unexpected firmness and strength in values.
Early In the morning sales of seller 1892
wheat were made at 81 4O556l1 4OIg. On the
regular call the price improved TO 81 4l14C9
421a, with transactions to the extent OF
4,700 tons.
Afternoon sales were as follows: Seller 1892
800 tons, 81 4114 Buyer season-10O tons,
81 4S12; 100, 81 4S2S p ctl.
Other options were also steady, buyer the
season Wheat selling at 81 4SA@1 AZ. Trans
actions of a speculative character are still ex-
tremeiy greatly curtailed by the indifference
OF both brokers and operators who deal in
monthly auctions under the new regulations
OF the Call Board
From Eastern exchanges we learn crop con-
dltions remain about as last reported. Michi-
gan reports are less favorable on Wheat, while
IN other parts of the West conditions are well
maintained. The season is generally backward,
but there is nothing specially discouraging in
the prospects.

Wheat, TO the beneficial effects of the rains.
The receipts were very light, only $50 sacks,
but on Change the tables were well supplied
with fair to good feed at 971ac9S1 per ctl,
81 O21agl o324 for choice; the demand very
limited and of a strictly local character.
Brewing is also dull, at range Of from 81 10
TO 81 Is, the demand being strictly local. On
the Call Board prices were well maintained,
Buyer season Barley opening at $3.50 and
closing very firm at 81 per hundred, with
sales of COO tons at the latter figure. Seller
1892 Barley opened at 81 0oh and closed
firm at 81 OOA. The same feature, with re-
gard to forcing monthly auctions on the oper-
ators, tends to curtail the business the same
as named in Wheat.
