The business Of the clearing house was 81
The specie movement of the week has been very
active. In addition to over 81 800 900 shipped abroad,
N. interior exchanges have absorbed large amount.
Considerable sums have been required for Phladel-
mia Baltimore. Savannah. Mobile and New Orleans.
and some parcels have also been sent to Boston. To
off ct this drain the George Law brings us 81 o'soo,
and few small lots have been received from the
Wet. The California receipts will not appear in the
bank statement which viii show con siderable falling
off in the specie reserve The loss of gold has caused
check in the loan expansion Of the banks, and during
be last two OF three days Of the week those nsttu-
lions have been unwilling to lend as freely as before,
and .ome of them have called in their temporary
loans freely The largest movement of this kind has
been by the Shoe and Leather which the depository
Of the CITY funds has been of late large lender
of the money received from payments for taxes. This
Bank has called in we understand about two millions,
10 meet CITY Revenue bonds which fall due next week
and which are moftly held by savings Banks. THIS
call and II. reaction in other banks, combined with
the gold drain caused a marked change 10 the cond-
ton of the money MARKET toward the close of the week.
To-day there was very active demand and consldera
Bile strrgency, which, however, materially abated
after one o'clock, when better supply offered, ana
the market was rather easier than on Friday. After
the effect of the California gold is developed and the
funds for the City bonds discussed, it is believed
the market will show considerable relief but we can
hardly look for an easy market before the middle OF
January In the discount houses there is more bust
ness doing with increased amount OF hrstciass pa
per offering. Rates are al g cent derer than last
week there being but few transactions below 81 G9a,
according to grade.
There is more activity in Flour and the marketn
SC. p bbl better, with sales of some lsOoo or 1oW
bbls. Wheat s held firmly which checks TRANSACTIONS,
although there is good demand. There is more firm
ress in Cotton based on advices from the South, and
some sales have been made at ic advance. Fork ana
other Provisions are without much change. Groceries
are steady, but not active excepting Coffee, OF which
3,CCO bags sold at 81 a l0lc.
The monetary and commercial advces from Calf ~
MIA are not important. Business, notwithstanding the
arrival of large number of vessels was dull. Money
was somewhat more stringent but plenty on best sec u
titles at per cent per month TIE miners were sill
suffering much for want Of water and consequently
dus was scarce in San Francisco. The weather, how
ever at the departure of the steamer gave prosse OF
ran which, If came would set the mines in full &C.

prices The case of Tobin ag. Wakinshaw, which IN
wolves the right to the quicksilver mine of NewAima

The Receters of the estate of Messrs. Page Bacon
