WEDNESDAY, SEPT. "a, 1856.
WE have to note another very quiet week in general trade
Most sales have been made through the auctioa-rooms, and t.
a large amount at fair rates on time from 2 to 4 months credit
Cash sales are made at very low figures, not sufficient to cover
cost aud charges.
There have been only two arrivals from foreign ports-thf
Frances Palmer aud PQmpero, both from San Francisco. The
Pan1peTo is in ballast, and We hear, will remain here to take q
cargo Of oil and bone for the L. s. besides her, the John Gft
pm and Gladiator are expected at this port SOON, t3 load OIL
The Frances Palmer briggs about $50 tons Of merchandise, in
Guiding 1900 qr-sacks of -four. The brig EUenita, which sailed
On Sunday last for San Francisco, carried a fair freight, includ-
Ing about 100 tons sugar.
BEEF AND ORK-Lua demand usually exists FOR these
articles, except in the fall shipping season for the supply of the
wialeshipz. The packing of Hawaiian beef is now systemati-
caIy carried on and about see bbls. are put up annually the
quality is fine, and is preferred now by whale-ships to the i'm
ported. We quote Hawaiian beef SIC. and foreign $21 per Dbl.
Stock Of domestic and foreign beef in store Il not far from 900
bis. We quote prime pork S28.
-~ELoUR-About4 400 bbls. were received by the Palmer from
California. On inquiry, We find the stock of domestic and foreign
-four on hand to be not far from 500 bbls, besides above importa|
ton of 400 bbls. The quantity Of wheat now in the storehorss
Of the Mill Company y 1880 bushels, including 1000 bushels
Chile wheat. The quantity up at East. Maui is about 1850
bushels, which added to the stock held by the Mil Company
makes a total Of 10000 bushels, or sufficient to turn out 5000
bbls. The consumption is about 400 per month, and the price
will probably rule low for the next six months. Sales of Califor-
mia flour at auction on the 23rd at IS "a S. 80; Hawaiian we

" S4N FRANCISCO CORRESPONDENCE.
SAN Francisco, Sept. Srd, 1853.
DEAR SR,-The Improvement in our market, noticed in ours
per John adams, has been sustained, with a fair inquiry for
goods. A good f4n-trade is beginning to set in, and as the op-
position steamers will soon be OH the river we may look for heavy
purchases during the next two months for the interior buyers
generally taking advantage of the low rates Of freight ruling dur
ing competition, to lay in a good supply before the rainy season,
when the roads to the mining regions become more Or less i'm
passable for loaded teams.
The following vessels have arrived from New York since our
fast Aug. 9th, ship PaHlpero, 123 26th, ship Eureka,
40 days; Goth, ship CeHr de Laon, 40 days; 23th, ship
Polynesia, 132 days.
For Island produce, our quotations remain without material
change.
The Frances Palmer sails at daylight tomorrow morning
and takes the mail from New York, Aug. 3. The next mail will
go forward by the Fanny MVOr, to sail Sept. 16, touching at
