COM MERCIAL.
JULY II, 1850.

The arrival OF several vessels during the past weck has given
a little more animation to business On Sunday, the brig Con-
SORT arrived from Puget Sound with an assortment Of lumber and
spars, and On Monday, the Kathleen came in from Victoria,
adding TO the already large supply Of lumber in the market.
The eonpetition now existing in the lumber trade has had la ten
deny to put money into circulation ; at least it has been OBJ
served that more business ID being done, particularly in the
building line, throughout the group, than last year at this time.
How much this Is owing To the low price Of lumber inducing the
natives To purchase freely, we cannot say. But Judging from
the quantities being shipped TO the other islands by schooners,
and the number Of new houses being erected about Honolulu,
we shouIi say Il has q great influence IL Is well known that
the natives, % the more thrifty among them, hoard their money,
and such opportunities as N now afforded them Of putting up
dwellings cheapiy, they are apt To improve. In this light, the
present competition can only be viewed a. q public benefit.
The departure Of the Palmer has been delayed owing to the
nou-arrsai of the Yankee, bot it Is probable she win get OF
about Saturday. She vii take large list Of passengers, though
not q full freight.
The steamer does not Jet commence her trips, the delay being
caused by the effort on the part Of her owners to effect some
changes in her charter OF privileges We hope these may be
made soon, 50 that she may get fairly at work before the busy
season sets in, during which she would doubtless be found to
pay we'll
