San Francisco, May 4. In the market here there is a slight depression in four ; a concession is necessary to induce business. Wheat unsettled ; the prospects of a large shipment and increased rates of ocean freights cause the irregularity. Wool transactions are restricted by short supply ; the tone of the market is improving ; sales are reported at 32 cents for Bury, 36J cents for free new spring ; 25 cents for fall ; 25 cents for lambs ; 75 cents for scoured at Boston. There is a fair degree of activity ; of the spring clip, sales were marked at 82£ cents. Petroleum, very dulL Livebpool, May 22.— Wheat, 12s 6d to 12s 9d per cwt, and 12s 9d to 13s per cental.
