We are glad to notico that oats are im proved and in fail demand at 18 to DO cents per bushel. Potatoes arc being shipped freely to ban Francisco, and buyers are paying 45 cents for Garnet Chili's and 50 cents for whites such as Peerless, etc. Green apples seem to be abundant; many bring in inferior fruit and cannot expect to get good prices. Good fruit is jobbed off at 05 cents here, and retailed at 75 cents. Mr. Clias. Coolidgc, of Polk county, was heie with really choice apples, such as receive the best prices. It is not yet time to ship to Cali fornia, so demand is limited. Hog products aro in good demand, and those who have pork to sell get 8 cents for the best Butter and eggi are without change from former prices.

During tho past week wheat has been qniot, with hardly any translations, and a weaker tone to the foreign market. On Tues day dibits wero made to sell round lots at II 00 per cental without sucuess, as far as wo can learn. The best figure at dnte seems to lie $1 571 Pr cental. There havo been two or three arrivals within tho week, one of which, a wooden ship, offers to chatter for 77a (Id to U. K. without takors; 70s may bo considered the fioiuht price to the United Kingdom. Disp.itchea from New York intimate that it may be possible tlut the World has a sur plus instead of a deficiency of wheat, which position in alo taken by a French writer in BoeiboliiiiB last eirjul.ir. This is set forward to account for tho deuline in tho foreign mar ket, but Itecrbulim, who is generally good au thority perhaps the best in the world takes the opHito view. Tho situation is about as wo defined it lust week. Good prices hare called out fiea deliveries of homo products in .England and all through the Continent- of Europe, besides which there have been free applies from Russia, Turkey, India and America. Tho situation in the Atlantic Statei seems to bo that very little grain is moing, probably because tho greater portion of tho aailablo surplus has liven xcut to mar ket. It is the opinion of lieeibolim that any decline will bo madd up later in tho season. "He. evidently Uoos not beliexu that tho wheat .supply is in exersi of tho mod. The Oregon Hollo, n wooden esbol built in Maine and owned by Portland capitalists, not content with heights ull'ored, has loaded with wheat on owner's account. Vaiious estimates hae been made of the graiil surplus funii the Columbia liver, but so far as wo on judge now n very correct ceti mato was anived at OotoUir 1 by taking the figiucs given to tho. 0.

A contempo for the past week hav sidenng all things, an able transactions in tr tions from Humboldt ais5- endocino A London writer to 73 Jutreft'K Journal re counting the outturn of 9,e wheat crop of the United Kingdom and of the Continental States, sums up as follows: Thus it will be seen that England, France and Belgium may together be expected to ie quiro 200,000,000 bushels from foreign sources and tho question is where is this amount to be found. Russia and India have both of them good harvests this year; that of Russia is citi mated at something like 320,000,000, while indi.i, it is understood, has produced even a larger quantity. Neither of thoso countries aro wheat consumers to anything like the samo extent per head as aie France, Spain and Italy, and Loth are known to have a largo surplus for exporta'ion how much it is quite impossible to say. Neither is Germany so large a consumer ot wheat as the countries nt H est crn Europe. Germany sowed 1.530,000 acres with wheat this year, and, taking all togeth er, has not done very well. Austria, w ith her 2,520,000 acres, has fared better. Hungary, with 0,500,000 acres of wheat, suffered during the harvesting period, ind Germany, Hunga ry and Austria, taken together, may bo re garded as something more than self-supporting. There may be counted on, if necessary, perhaps 40 per cent, of tho required 200,000, 000 bushels from sources other than the Uni ted States. Indeed, if England chose to bid high, thoso countries could probably do better for us than that; but the United States, if the crop in that country reaches to anything like 4UU,UVU,UUU bushels, will doubtless have a very considerable quantity available for Eu rope, and people here are beginning to look torwaru wun more connaence to a reuue won rather than to any further nso in the valno of imported grain. Wh.it tho Atlantic ports aro holding back the Pacific ports are sending, and it is thought that, if New York continues to restrict Wheat shin shipments here, San Francisco faimers will probably reap the benefit. Meanwhilo Brit ish farmers are reaping a3 far as they can the advantage of current hich prices, and are sending gram rapidly to market. It is highly probablo that not many months to come loreign Wheat will bo selling hero a good many shillings a quarter cheaper than it is today, 1882. HARPER'S MAGAZINE, ILLUSTRATED.

Tho outlook at tho pres ent moment is exceedingly tlatteiing for an other year of great prosperity to tho tanner, and, in fact, to all tillers of the soil. Of late, Knglish wheat advices havo not been at nil encouragini; to holders! prices, iu conseqence, havo been steadily falling for some weeks past. At the decline, holders gtmcially nio averse to nuking free sales; yet tho timely rams tend to loosen holding atiiiicr not a lit tle, Kxportcrs do not cxperionco any dillicul ty in seeming all tho wheat necessary for tho dispatch of vessels no,v upon the bcith. Dur ing tho month of November the exports of breadstufl's from California exceeded by far thoso of any preceding mouth in tho history of the State. Seventy-six cargoes of wheat and Hour (including two cargoes from Wil mington and one cargo from San Diego) clear ed for Kumpn, aggregating S,8.il,.VJ3 centals whe.it, 4!l,7ll'J bairels Hour, and 45,178 centals luiley.
