COMMERCIAL.

San Francisco Nov. 18th.
The advance in Wheat has again sent
Flour up; the advance is 25c per barrel.
The export business, especially by the
China steamer, has been light of late;
yesterday she took less than 1000 barrels.
The upward course OF Wheat is still
unchecked spot Wheat is advanced and
the speculative market is considerably
above yesterdays prices; the excitement
is intense, and large sales are the order
of the day. Poor reports of the crop in
the Argentine and strong cables have in
duenced the market considerably.
Barley is not very active for spot lots,
but prices remain unchanged; futures are
more active and higher. Light trading in
Oats and Corn; prices rule firm, as pre-
viously quoted. Rye is firm and higher, in
sympathy with Wheat.
Table Grapes have further declined; re-
ceipts were heavier, being about $500
boxes; fancy Muscats are the only kind
that do well. A few good Pomegranates
are seen, and bring more than quotations.
Persimmons are coming forward freely;
with what are here and those expected to-
morrow the market will probably break.
Berries are easier; few sold UP to So.
Several boxes of new crop Seeding Or
anges were received to-day from Porter
vile, and were held for So 80 per box.
Black Figs are offering at 65Q75c per box
