stocked with overdue receipts The transactions Of
the fortnight have not therefore, been Of healthy cha

ears and rice Sugars have been taken freely by the
Trad md fnrr NJ iunnr
the activity in rice has been caused by the occasion TO
sse upon late receipts that had been advanced upon at
ports OF shipment.
So far in the year the market has been mainly sustain
ed by speculation prices for many staples being ad
vanced materially above the point that could have been
attained through legitimate demand for consumption.
The movements Of operators have naturally stimulated
the trade to make purchases but at the present moment
all parties appear have mainly to the conclusion
that they have bought quite many goods az they
want until they shall find some reader means Of dis
posing Of them than have Of late been available.
Yet rs many Of these goods were purchased ut less
than the cost Of laying down In this market,
apprehensions Of fresh supplies TO be afforded within
ger Of reaction is less than during the rule Of inflated
prices. Al the close Improvement in the country de-
nand s to be noted the gain, however, gradual and the
benefits to be derived from will depend upon the con
tDusnce Of fair weather There la not likely be any
lengthy interruption by rains later this season. and
obstacle appears TO present itself 10 the transaction
Of important springs business. Should arrivals
largely before stocks shall have gone into consumption
goods will be dull OF SALE and any oonsgnmens required
difficult to place without submitting to reduction
prices.
Eastern bread little inquired for but supplies arc not
Accomplishing. Boots and shoes continue dull with only
light country demand; rates about the last
reported Candles lower the combination have with
drawn, as purchasers and prces have downward ten
dency. Anthracite coal has declned English and other
kinds inactive At present there is sale for coffee;
the principal holder Of Rio quietly waiting for buyers
duh. Corn meal quiet and firm The dry goods joo-
bling trade has been fair during the last week,
In fish, late receipts Of new dry cod have been
readily placed; mackerel is less inquired for, with
few sales Fruits GAUGES, &c. have been moderately
tive dried apples command full prices other kinds of
cried fruits quiet, and rates unchanged; fresh can
fruits and vegetables remain dull and dropping; pic
are in good request fresh oysters are improving. In
French goods there been nothing DONE Gunpy bags
dull and heavy, with further large supplies close at
hand Lumber is steady, with good city demand, and
some inquiry for export Malt liquors lower and
stocks accommodating. Metals inactive and Of very slow
sale, hoasses and syrups are unchanged since
last report Nails little inquired for, dealers
being well supplied by their own importatons. For
naval stores there is scarcely any sale; tar and
pitch are lower; oakum dull and without change. The
market for olive oil is nrm and prices improved; China
lower other kinds unchanged. Provisions have gene
rally been less active; bacon has improved and favo
rite articles pork quiet, with but little Offering; beef still
very dull hams steady but few selling; lard hrm
and heavy Butter sells elowy and prices for inferior
declining cnoce NOT plenty ana nrm oregon meats have

Y,
Of SALE Raw sugars have been active rates

domestic brandies and whiskey held with much firm
ness and stocks well controlled Liverpool salt steady
the demand is limited this season, but supplies are not
heavy; Sandwich Island dull; Eastern Ground In good
request at previous rstes Soap and starch but little
wanted at present. Teas not firm: the receipts
ia,erly have exceeded the current consumption Sherry
wines In wood more inquired for In other kinds there
has been but trihing business done. Wooden ware
nacnye, win nothing but retail trade Yeast powders
have moved but slowly at the established rates.
Arrivals from domestic Atlantic ports occurred early in
the fortnight and again the several vessels have
reached port The receipts Of fresh goods by the latter
have impaired little animation to the market; but
buyers are not eager and have to be looked after to
duce them to venture upon further The
arrivals during the fortnight have been the Intrepid Car
rer Dove and Ocean Telegraph from New York Winfield
Scott, Fearless and Knehher from Boston, Frances Pal
mer, from Honolulu Georges aud Frigate Bird, from
Hong Kong Epulo from Glasgow Gen. Yanez, from Ma
zatan and Caroline Foote from Tahiti Also the fol-
lowing vessels with coal to the Pacific Nail Company;-
Asgo, Edward Stanley and Old Colony from New York;
John Clark, from Baltimore, and Elvira, from Cardiff.
MONEY MARKET.
TIE receipts of dust from the mines arc backward for
the seaton. The condition Of the roads is alleged and
think with reason the occasion of the delay as it
well established that the miners are working with every
advantage Remttanccs have, however, come forward
quite freely within the past few days. and shall look
see considerable Improvement in this respect the
son progresses.
The heavy amount of capital ,ced up by speculative
operations in this Market combined with the general dull
Of trade and ecant receipts Of duet have brought
money into active demand during the past fortnight The
obligations for the present steamer arge though less
important than those for the mail Of the 5.h April The
