Respecting the Europeaa grain market and the war, a New
York paper says The feeling IN the produce market is that
brsadstuns viii continue % improve. The demand from Eu-
rope for the French and German armies, promises TO be active.
This if taken in connection with the falling OF in the estimated
receipts NJ the Lake ports, would argue better prices The
breai-tuds market will be very materially affected by the
augf ~ n. nj and evnrvfffur u0w points To q long war.
The evaporation q the beHiserents Is ID deepening, and in France
- unanimous and at fever heat As soon a. the impending
battle has been fought and the French lose Paris, or the Ger
mans are driven from Paris, the French will have a settlement
with Napoleon- The fall Of his dynasty is certain to be fol-
loved By revolt an effort for seating Of an Orleans Prince on
the throne by foreign bayOnets cannot create a permanent

LOCAL COMMERCIAL.
The decline in the price Of sugar in San Francisco, as re-
ported by the last mail, has created some surprise, as the stock
Of raw- wa smaller than Tor many months previous. The
prices in New York were such as to encourage shipments Of
refined sugar by steamer TO San Francisco.
During the past week there have arrived from San Francisco
the barks NsTeid and Annie ". Weston, both under charter
20 load guano. Also the U. S. steamer Saginaw from Midway
Islands.
Our departures have been the British ship BenUeHus, which
arrived on the sh from Japan, seeking, and sailed on the 18th
for san Francisco. The bark Camden Tor Puget Sound, and
the barks Nereid and Annie ". Weston for the guano islands.
The whaling heet due at this port this fall promises to be
smaller than last year, though but few vessels will probably be
diverted 10 San Fralcisco- Owing to the low price Of oil and

bone IS centsO the amount TO be paid of at this port this fall
will probably be less than for several years past This
amount viii be further decreased by the heavy advances made
Co seamenI last EH, from $40 TO $50 each-a system which is
very injurious to the whaling business
