MONEY MARKET.

Morena! EVENING.
The English Stock Market presented no peculiar
feature to-day. A good deal of business was done
with comparatively little variation from the opening
prices; these were-for Consols 953 to 3 for money, and
953 to 3 for account, at which they also closed, having
touched during the day 3 for each, and for time,
which were the only variations from the first pace.
The Three per Cent. Reduced were: dote from 943
to 3, being last marked 1. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. marked 951, 4,1 and lest'-.

The accounts from San Francisco, California, re- at.
present atlairs there as wearing a more settled aspect : is
the turmoil and want of order induced by the influx 10
of so many mativaia aujets as have of late favoured the N,
embryo city with their presence, having in a great
measure subsided. Various respectable mercantile 24
firms had been establ'shed, and the formation of a too
regular and valuable trade was confidently expected. 15
We give insertion to the following interesting letter, ry
issued by the respectable English firm of Messrs. too
Glen and Co., of ban Francisco :
The influx of people to California in September has been so
treater then in any preceding month; and the population 17
Is new increasing so rapidly that we believe before the end NI
of this year there will be upwards of 100,000 persons is feed, 35
clothe, ai.d shelter, all the requisites for which are now quite 131
inadequate the demand, mad unless we have shortly large suli
imports of provision', we apprehend that duriag the coming at.
winter breadstuff' of all sorts will again be at the exorbitant un
prices they were formerly at. 100
At present it would be useless to quote price", as during IG
the past month we have known the moat staple articles, fro
such as flour, in considerable lots, change bands twice in the of
sane day, wit's a range in price of 20 to 25 per cent., and to
in articles less staple than breadstuff., the range has been se
much greater.
The trade in manufactured goods, of cotton and wool, 124
and in hardware, hes been alt-goober retail. Prices „are ro.
high, but the charges on goods (when stored ,on shore) ~are Se
also extravagant. 20
These tatrevagant charge, are entirely caused by the mad 20
speculation which is going on in land ate houses,-a trade 124
which is in every way most injurious to the interests of the telt!
place. We expect, however, that it must now soon cure it- 8,
self, as it has caused money to be so scarce, that the o
stint:liters have to pay at the rate of 16 per cent. per
month for shore loans, and under such circumstances only 50
one result can be expected-namely, the ruin of all who en- 14
gees in such undertakings. 121
IS
Fortunately let the commerce of the place we have an et,
abundant supply of excellent store ships convenient at all se
times for storing pods, and at moderate tutee, by which all 20
extravagant charges for rent may be saved to the importers. W
The produce of the mines continues es abundant as ever, I,'„t•
aid the gold dust is currently ',changed at the rate of ;
15 to 16 dots. per oz., unless when the steamer is about to so
sail, when the price is somewhat advanced. Extensive beds se
of ore have been deepened in some places, and we expect ere 16
long that mining on more extended plans, and with the LOG
necessary machinery, will supersede the p primitive It
system of digging and washing. 121
