REVIEW OF THE CALIFORNIA MARKET FOR THE WEEK END.
ING MONDAY, MAY 10TH
Our market has presented few or no new features Of
interest during the past week, Heavy importaions oil
leading and miscellaneous ARTICLES 10 hand early in
the week, which OF themselves have had depressing
influence prices. Trade, however, opened promising
y at first. and on Monday, Tuesday. and Wednesday
obbes sold considerable extent but the close of the
week has, the contrary been exceedingly dull and bus
mess unusually depressed. Money has been scarce and
country merchants have exhibited some dissemination,
they have previously done, 10 buy 10 any further
tent than sufficient for immediate wants The county
will buy in all the spring to the same extent probably
during former years but stocks OF all kinds large
with the prospect OF further accesslons, that do
look for any material variation from The present low
prices and lear that trade will exhbl, that hustle and
animation which we were lately inclined TO think would
characterize during the spring.
Towards the close OF The week -four has not been SC
firm The fluctuations may be considered incidental, and
although the stock large yet do not believe that The
leading and favonte brands OF American -four will receds
below $40 during the summer. The consumption j.
large, stimulated by the present low prices, and the ord
nary OF the trade will gradually reduce the quaint
ty that is on hand.
YRoM OREGON.
The Oregon newspapers are destitute OF interest From
the Portland Commercial OF May we take the subolnec
notice OF the markets, which is the only item OF ueres
for readers abroad contained IN the paper.
/ Qua MARXETs.-We have TO record another dull weel
in business, owing TO the immense stocks o
goods which passed through this place into the interior
another reason may be asslgned-there have been M
pack trains in from the mines for several weeks.
Provisions The market is completely unsettled ant
prices merely nominal owing TO the fact that sh Jpn emit
are made from San Francisco owners account, o
they are purchased on short time
i pork-We have been advised OF sale OF clear porl
on Saturday at S42
Flour has been freely taken within The last few days
in fact the market has been stripped bare OF all that
be had at 81 so, with very limited supply, which d
not likely to be increased for fortnight
Our merchants well supplied with every clss
OF goods adapted TO the incoming season, and hnl
they will hereafter be able 10 supply upcounry
chants good, If not better, terms than they b,
supplied in San Francisco.
Very little is said ia the newspapers OF mining pros
poets The agricultural interest seemed thriving
We take the following from the Portland Times OF tb
AID ult:
Nrv ESrERpRIsr-We learn that Capt. J. o. Val
Bergen, OF the Fashion, coniemplates building side
