depressing prices, and but few sales were effected.

•
Trade in Paris during the week has been very
calm. Promises of considerable orders have been
received from Russia and the United States, in
consequence of the reduction in the tariffs of those
countries ; but we have now come to the dead
season for ' most branches of industry. There is
now ,positive information about the prospecits of the
sitk.harvest. There will be about half in average
crop in the ysouth of France. This result is better
than was exphcted a month ago. Adviee-s' from
Lombardy and Piedinont are also more eheering.
The supply of silk in -Europe will be insufficient for
the demand, and recourse must be bad. to India
and China.

The George Canning has arrived from Adelaide,
but is not known to have any gold on'freight. •
The specie and bullion, ex the steamer Atreto,
have been delivered. Possibly a portion of the.
1.0,0001_ in Californian gold brought by this vessel
may he sent into the Bank.
• On Friday', the :ird July, 'the shares of the Credit
Mobilier Society were quoted in Paris 1,092 f. per'
500 f shares. On the 3rd July 1850, the price was
1,595 f. This comparison affords an idea of the fluc-
tuations to which so speculative a stock must always
be liable.
