SAN Francisco, June Sd.
General trade was only moderately active
to-day, Notwithstanding it was shipping
day" In general merchandise no changes
We're reported in quotations, but an enlarged
demand is said TO rule for sugar chiefly for
Gamers use. Hams are half a cent higher in
sympathy with an advance at the East. The
advance at the East is said TO be due to poor
corn crop prospects in the Central States.
Telegra phic adviceS received to-day of strong
north winds in the Sacramento and San
Joaquin Valleys impaired more life TO futures
on Call Board. Silver continues to advance.
Commercial exchanges on the Eastern and
on London are scarce, which causes bankers
to be firm in their views.

market was strong to-day, with buyers bid
ding at our quotations, but sellers were offish.

but II seller is forced into the market he
would have TO sell at quotations. OR a fraction
