tory on the whole. the Improvement in tone recently
noted having continued mp to date. The frequent ar
rivals Of vessels from the Coast, all deeply laden, give
our business front an snliveuing appearance, and AFFORD
our draymer and dock hands ample employment. It Is
amatter Of regret. however. that this latter class give 50
much trouble and annoyance b agents and others from
their unreliAbiiity and their frequent e~xorbItant demands
for their services.

same morning. and the stnIr City Of New York on Mon

hours. but sustained no damage that We learn Of.
AdStees from San Francisco are 10 the 9th inst. We do
not however learn Of any material changes in the market
rates for Island produce, unless IL IS q tendency to
strengthen prices in ree and coffee, in both Of which
articles there have been considerable sales.
The illusions OF this Journal Of late to our excessive
imPortations have brought to light an important fact to
mitigate the responsibility Of our business houses In the
matter. for We Learn that very many OF the lots OF varied
produce. lumber and general merchandise that have
come In 10 IA BY the increased number Of packets have
been e~onzfgnments. All this. however. has helped 10
deInorAiizs trade and add TO our exchange dimculty.

our merchants to solve, and IL not soon renedied viii

There are rumOrs on the street to the effect that one Of
the san Francisco banks will soon establish a branch in
this place. From what we can learn respecting this
matter. we feel safe in saying that within q few months
we shall have a considerable addition to our Banking
capital, which Will tend towards relieving our present
Necessities in that particular and % placing our large
industrial interests on n stronger basis
