HEDyEspAr EVENING, JULY IA, 1855.

VS. notice rather more activity in the market this week than
vas observable at the date Of our last report. owing to the ar
rival OF the Metifa from Boston with a.: assorted cargo, and the
departure Of the Yankee and the San Diego, both of which
vessels we're loaded to their utmost capacity with freight, mostly
island products. The cargo Of the Yankee, for San Francisco.
was the largest and most valuable Of any that she has taken
from this port within our recollection. The reported high prices
Of provisions at the coast stimulated the shipment of nearly all
the beef and pork In the market, both domestic and foreign.
The amount shipped reached 700 or 500 bbis- The sugar ship
nenf was small, as the market was quite bare Dealers IN puiu
continue to send forward large parcels to a market reported wen
stocked. The Yankee took $4,000 lbs, mostly on deck
The SON Diego, for Portland, Oregon, took a fun freight OF
sugar, oil, puIu. molasses, &c. For particulars, see manifest
under the head Of Exports"
The brig Emma, formerly the Prince de JoinriHe, was sold
st auction ON Monday for s2,24o. She has been laid on for San
Francisco, and will sail in about ten days
The Fanny Major. which is shortly expected, will probably
bring some fresh goods to hand. Trade has been universally
Light this summer, and dealers are not disposed to buy mof0than
needed for immediate wants Ahrge proportion OF the Metffa's
cargo has been sold TO arrive, and the terms in most cases r
held private. Since her arrival we have heard no large sale re-
ported. Our quotations are few this week
sUGAR-A small parcel arrived since our last from Maui, and
was sold for the Oregon trade We quote key sugar at sGsi,
according to quality. We are glad to notice that more attention
10 being paid to the grading Of sugar than heretofore the SUI
CARS OF the Brewer plantation appear to have the most care be-
slowed on them in this respect, and some Of the samples recently
shown in Mr.. Brewers store ar the handsOnesi ever offered
here. This is a step most urgently needed, as great complaint
has been made in the San Francisco market on account of the
Inequality Of the sugar comprising the different grades. When
this care In grading has become universal among our Island
planters, our sugars viii rank higher in the market where they
are consumed than ever before Our Sandwich Island frst
quality sugar stands higher now at the San Francisco Sugar
Refinery, than any other used there

up n par, which may be quOted as the current rate
