VALPARAIso MARKET, March 1.-Californa affairs
appear to absorb almost all interest and attention
from other branches of business and the greater part
of our commercial activity since last steamer, has
centred in that focus Of hitherto unprecedented
culations in Chile to any other one single market 1t
remains to be seen whether those golden pros
poets may not be made barren by oTer-specuation-
though it is supposed that immigration and its
sumption far has kept pace with Importation The
tonnage of vessels sailed for that
to 1851 tons register, and mostly with full cargoes
and there are about 5000 tons the berth loading.
The gold imported, within this month, amounts to
about half million and nearly an equal amount OF
specie arrived by the steamer. Our money market is
overfOwng for expectation whilst for circulation only
country Our bay has been, and is now crowded with
shipping from all parts no less than about $4,000 tons

ports have passed to their colonies of Stka The price
of -four has risen to &c. and 1t is calculated that about
$4,000 bags have gone from this place to California
alone The demand will in all probability be increased
for Chilean produce in general seeing the requirements
Of in Panama and other ports Of the Pacific There
is some demand for bar "copper" but still ut the reduced
