FIRE Of the 4th inst, Q want OF confidence has been
exhibited in almost every branch of business Up
to the present time the transactions have been very
small Nothing now changes hands except for imme-
date uses The destruction Of SO large amount Of
property by IRE In one night 1t Is reasonable Co

ready covered with new buildings. in many of which
the operations and daily routine of business 60
was the previous to the 4th inst. The trade in
the mining districts, and in the numerous thriving
towns in the interior OF the country is also rapidly
increasing. The improvement in this branch Of our
commerce bears marked change, also do inter-
course with Oregon the Islands and the lower coast
The cearances at the Custom House. and the arrivals
from these places, show great and decided improve

recent calamity has shown directly opposite course
Under renters Of that portion which the fire reached
have been asking higher rent in almost every instance
and sales by auction confirm tatement The sales
Of real estate during the past week. have been well at
tended and disposition manifested 10 favor Of the
landed interests Of San Francisco. We mott ce desire
to purchase more on the outskirts OF the town the
motives for this course are various-many contem-
plate still greater increase in prices while others
prefer these portions for private residences
The demand for flour and breadstuffs, which we no.
ticed in report OF the LIST Instant seems to be
slightly declining. The daily arrivals are such as to
affect prices
The extent of sales has not been decreased; but the
quantity and character small Chilean Is freely
offered ut our quotations.
The change we have to notice in the price and in
the quantity changing hands. Lumber, the next in
Importance had quite rise during the early part of
the last week, in consequence OF the demand to
build after the fire; but the arrivals from the United
States and from other parts Of the world have been
numerous and the quantity large that the prices
quoted on Monday and Tuesday were much higher
than the present rapge On the 9th inst there arrived
in the hsrbor sufficient lumber to rebuild town
nearly half as large as San Francisco.
Carsoes have been offered at $40. We hear Of large
quantities selling board at $685. to be delivered ct
Sacramento.
scsntling is scarce and high We have very little
change to note in provsonssprices are about as last
reported. fair demand for groceries has existed
during the past week The sales Of coffee and sugar
ls
to buy at present high prices In brandies and wines
of good quality, there is better demand. Sales
have been large. No change in the various other art
cles Of trade worthy Of notice.
Money has not been coming in as freely
ticed last week, but by the sailing Of the steamer
the first, increase will be observed. The demand
for money, in consequence Of suspension Of business
by the fire. has not been over great The prevailing
figure Is per cent per month. On good security for
q longer period, 5to per cent.
