COMMERCIAL SUMMARY.

The stock market, since the last steamer, has not varied
materially for Government and State stocks, but the fan-
cies have been buoyaut and active. The sales have been
very large and prices have had an upward tendency.
There has been a fair amount of federal and state stocks
sold.

In exchanges there has been a fair business doing for
this steamer, mainly at lOf to 108, but at the close the
market fell off to 10f, with considerable sales under tele-
graph orders from the south. The supply was good.
France were 5 17i to 5 16k; Hamburg!), 36 to 368;
Bremen, 804; Amsterdam, 408 to 41.

The supply of money continues very abundant, and
loans on good collaterals are made at 5 to 6 per cent.,
and on Government stocks at 4} per cent. Paper, of
first-class signatures, goes at 6 to 7 per cent.
The trade in dry goods continues dull, though prices
are not so heavy, especially of cotton fabrics. The in-
creased pretensions of holders check the incipient de-
mand. Woollen goods show more activity than cottons,
and stocks of all kinds, however, are greater than the
demand, and unless this increases considerably, the in-
creased asking prices can hardly be obtained. Brown
and bleached shirtings and shcetings have advanced a
fraction, but the tales at the advance are few. The stocks
are still large.
There is rather less doing in drills, but better prices
are obtaining, and the prospect of a speedy revival of the
and bagging, &c., have been in de-
mand, demand is good. There is little inquiry for ex-
port. British makes. Holders of do-
s ask higher prices, which check the

held firmly. Cotton Needs are inactive.
The market for printing cloths is steady, with less
activity. Stocks are fair. Prints also are less inquired
after for general consumption, though there have been
one or two speculative purchases, limited, however, to
certain kinds; prices ar© low. Ginghums are dull,
though orders for the spring trade are occupying the
manufactories. The stock of mouselines de laines is very
low in the first hands, while the demand continues good
for the late period of the season. In this branch, as in

WRECK OF THE STEAMER SUPERB.—The remains
of Miss Price and Miss Jackson, two of the lamented victims
of the wreck of the Superb, were brought to the island on
the afternoon of the 2d instant, by the South-Western
steamer, Captain James Goombridge, from St. Malo, and are,
we believe, to be removed to England. Two other bodies
were found on the French coast the same week, and there
buried—one, that of Mr. Sedgwick ; the other believed to be
that of Mr. Frost, the engineer. The body of (apparently
Mr. Lloyd has been found on the coast of St. John's parish
in this island, and was decently interred in the churchyard

SUDDEN DEATII.—On Friday morning Mr. Con-
stable, a master painter, residing at Penshurst, expired sud-
denly in the booking-office of the South-Eastern Railway
station, at that place, under the following circumstances:—
Mr. Constable was approaching the station with the inten-
tion of proceeding to London, and when, within a short dis-
tance, seeing the train was at the station he began to run,
hoping to be in time. On entering the booking-office, how-
ev-r, he staggered into the arms of the station-master, faintly
asked for a glass of water, and instantly expired. Dr. Ballard
was scut for and hastened to the station, but his services were
unfortunately too late to be of any avail.
