SAN FRANCISCO MARKET.

Business for the week past has been exceed
ingly quiet In all departments IF trade, owing,
in great measure to the unsettled feeling In
regard to crop prospects, for the approaching
season. Merchants from the interior express
a feeling of doubt as to future ability to pay,
IN case they should purchase literally, and in
order to be perfectly safe they buy but spar
ingy at present, till the future shall decide as
to the result; on the other hand The mer-
chants here for the same reasons Of doub,
feel hardly like urging sales of goods on un-
wiling purchasers. The tide of immigration
seems to be at the flood, for never since the
settlement of the State has there been such an
influx Of population as is now pouring in
daily from all quarters, both by sea and rail-.
1t is to be hoped that sufficient encourage
ment will be afforded in the way of employ
ment, that all may be induced to remain as
permanant settlers on the coast, rs there GER
calmly is room for all, and one of the greatest
needs the coast has experienced has been the
want of a working population In order to
meet the wants of many of the new corners,
our merchants have established in this city Il
Bureau Of Immigration having in part for its
object the furnishing information and employ
ment to all who need assistance of that char
acter, and they invite correspondence from all
portions Of the coast iii furlherence of its OBJ
jects; Of this let all who are Interested take no.
ice and govern themselves accordingly.
