Ol Ano arrival OF the Stedme
Daniel Webster at New York, W,
have files Of San Francisco papers I,
the 10th Of November, sixteen day
later than our previous advices.
A letter from San Francisco, n
the Journal Of Commerce, says:
Our city continues to improve, b,
the erection Of a large number o
tirst class brick and stone fire proc
buildings in all parts of the city, but
more especially on lots recently filled
up with sand, extending far out into
the Bay-the foundations Of which
are not of the most solid character
and many Of the buildings thus erec
ted (the foundations being laid upor
Plank,) have settled bodily from one
to two feet.
Farmers in the Atlantic State:
would do well to get some seed O.
our "Burr ClOUer," which is of lux,
uriant growth, yields immensely o.
burrs, each of which contains a mum.
Der OF seeds, and upon them the cat.
tie Of our hills eat and grow fat,
when to all appearances they are
feeding upon barren waste. Often
times the ground is covered 10 the
depth of several inches with the seed,
which is very nutritious, being of an
oily substance, and that in great
abundance.
In the Alta Californian OF the 18th
Of November, we find the following
summary OF events since the depar-
ture of the previous steamer:
The demand for goods, and the
sales at San Francisco, have been
steady since the lst, with the excep-
tion of few days about the ninth Of
the month, when more brisknesS was
noticeable. This general steadiness
has been owing TO the fact that the
rains have held off until lecently,
and the miners consequently have
been Indifferent about laying in any
more supplies than they need for i'm
mediate use. The fact that the roads
kept open during last winter has rem
dered the most OF them careless in
this respect. Meanwhile, other mi
ners have stationed themselves on
the arroyos and small streams, whose
banks are now literally lined with
heaps Of auriferous dirt, where they
have been awaiting the rains. These
have, as a general thing, made their
from up-country merchants
on credit.
We are, however, happy TO an
nounce to our readers in the Eastern
States, that from all sections OF the
mines we are receiving accousts Of
he opening Of the rainy season and
/ renewed briskness in the dry dig
yings.. This has sent the teams down |
% Stockton, and for the last two or
hree days trade has been brighter
n that city. Favorable accounts
ouching an increased demand have
Ilso been received by US from the Sa-
merchants, although the
upply has been so great that prices
n Stockton and Sacramento have
aised but little as yet. This state
f things must, however, soon change.
Is goods leave the two inferior cities
Or the mines, the prices must advance
here, the demand will be felt here,
nd prices rise almost Immediately.
his opening of the Fall trade, to-
ether with the anticipated arrival Of :
few vessels only, leads US to hope
hat business in our city for the next
sw weeks will be brisk. The credit
{ San Francisco still remains good.

ing from S5 to 95 cts, and the May
oupons are selling at 95.
