[Compiled from the San Francisco Prices Current and Shipping List.] NOTE.-The above table shows the average prices for each month, of flour per two hundred pounds, and wheat, barley and oats, per pound, from January 1st, 1852, to December 31st, 1857, at San Francisco. As these articles of consumption were mostly imported for the first few years after the influx of population into California, foreign products have been taken as the standard during that period, In flour, Chili has been quoted, in wheat, barley and oats, those of eastern importations, until February, 1854, when the domestic productions of both flour and grain are substituted. In several instances we have been unable to determine the current value of flour, and have requoted Chili; such changes are indicated by an asterisk, (*).-[ED. + Sales of Flour in barrels for the last ten days of December, 1852, $38 and $42. |
