In the Alta California Of the 18th
November, we find the follow ing SUNNI
ry ofevenls since The departure Of
previous stcamer:-
The demand for goods, and the snl
at San Francisco, have hecn stead
since the lst with the exception Of II e
days about the ninth OF the month, whd
more briskness was noticeable.
We are happy 10 announce to o,
readers in the Eastern states, that froi
all sections O. The mines We are recei,
ing accounts Of the opening Of the rain
season and a renewed briskness in III
dry diggings. This has sent the team
down to Stockton, and Tor the last tw
or three days trade has been brighter
that city. An increased demand hav
also been received by us from the Sac
ramento merchants, although the suppl
has been SO great that prices in Stock
ton and Sacramento have raised but u
tie AS yet. This state Of things mus
however, soon change. As goods leav
the two interior cities for the mines, IN
prices must advance there, the demaR
will be felt here, and prices rise almos
Immediately. This opening Of the Fa
trade, together with the anticipated ar
rival Of n lew vessels only, leads Us
hope that business in our city for III
next few weeks will be brisk. The cred
il Of San Francisco still remains good
