The week opened with degree u ANNA.
ton in business circles that was quite relief
TO the dull monotony that prevailed 50 long.
The release Of the japanese immigrants from
their long quarantine aud portioning of 10
various plantations on the other islands on
Monday and Tuesday lent much to this i'm.
preston.
Shipping movements have been free, com.
prising. in arrivals. the Forest Queen and
Alameda from san Francisco, the Amelia from
Port Townsend and the Amy Turner from

San Francisco The exports by these last
two vessels, principally sugar, amounts to
S79,7ss.46. The Planter will follow to-day.
to affect repairs in san Francisco and will take
a cargo Of sugar, etc, and the japanese

weekly entertainments, with about the usual
attendance and results. Additional TO the
regular room sales next week real estate. and

The Alameda on Wednesday, brought adj
vices to the 18th instant. We append Wi.
liams, Dimond & Co. s trade circular, which
treats Of the market for our products.
Our las, circular was dated, July list.
SuGAR-We have no change to note in our
local market, and prices Of refined remain un
changed.
The New York market, however, has held its
own, notwithstanding the continued weakness
| in London, and further decline in prices
| there which are now very nearly on a parity
with New York.
Purchases could not be made, however, on
the continent on the basis of London quota
| lions and producing countries generally have
| shown disposition toward weakness.
The dead lock in New York between buy.
| ers and sellers has been broken and purchases
| made on the basis Of previous quotations, and
this fact shows the strength Of the position
| there.
Redners, although carrying fair supplies,
| have again entered the market and are re.
uctant to reduce their stocks with the pros.
pect of a better cutie, for their product.
| Latest mail advices Of July Sth, report that
fair amount Of business was being transacted,
and the market ruled moderately active and
strong, with rehners disposed to replenish their
stocks by purchases Of spot supplies, but cable
| advices received that day from London. ad-
vising lower market, seemed to check the
demand and no further business transpred.
Supplies continue TO be held with Conscience,
and sellers show no disposition to yield but
buyers are still very cautious and easily influ-
enced by the fluctuations Of the London
market.

RicE--As predicted in our last report, rice,
ex Alameda, owing to importations Of Caro-.
lima, sold at o. C cash This will doubtless do
much to check the Eastern article, as in spite
of the low rate Of freight, there is little or no
margin at SIC. We quote to-day SIC and
7hcts.
CHARTERs-Market continues dull and inani.
mate with no transactions to note since our
last advices. Wheat is declining, and we hope
will soon reach point when reporters can
operate no change in quotations for either
wood or iron tonnage.
