Furniture, for houses and offices has become abundant, and pi ices low. Bread Stuffs. — Since our last, the holders of fbur have maintained themselves", and still farther advanced their prices— as the matter stands, we can form no opinion as to the future — all depends on how far the present monoploy can sustain the market, and how it will act on the market in Chili— time will tell, it being purely speculative. Sales of Chili have been made in 200 lbs. sacks at 4f 18, and in small quantities at higher rates — and sales to arrive are said to have been made at a further advance— some holders to a con. siderab'e extent of Haxalls & Gallego— considering it a very favourable opportunity have closed sales of a few thoutand barrels at 4? 14 to <B'ls, in tacks. Barley is held at Bf. Oats is good order at 6. Bricks. — Contrary to reasonable calculations, this article is very dull, at quotations, consequently, large quantities are leaving tor Canton as ballast. Cement and Lime is very plenty and dull. Coals has been steadily declining, and Sydney is mearly nominal at quotations — this article is also kept on board and is leaving as ballast. Coffee is declining as the stock increases and cannot be sold in large pat celt at quotations. Candles are very firm, and some holders have withdrawn their stock from the market, expecting better rates. Cigars more plenty. Domestics. — The Article having reached moderate rates are bought with confidence. Liquors keep pretty steady— Whiskey having advanced. Lumber.— Notwithstanding the large quantities con» sumed— causing a fair demand — we have no general improvement to notice— some kinds doing a little bet-

ter. Timber, used for wharfing and laying the street being 1 most caleable. It is supposed that Lumber from the States will not, except a very few kinds, ever pay in this market— as large preparation! have been made for sawing and preparing Lumber in Oregon and other places on the Coasts and Islands. Even home frames have been used for laying the street*. It is allowed we now bare a year's stock, if another foot should not arrive. As the rainy season approaches, Shingles are doing belter. Naili. — Stock large, and market dull. Provisions are very firm and improving. Pickles and Preserves plenty and dull. Sugar.— Urown keeps steady, while white bat declined materially. Teas are scarce, and an arrival would meet a good market. Furniture— plenty and dull. Since our last, or rather for the past week the sales of Merchandize have been to a very fair extent, particularly for the interior. The money market is very close, which checks speculation. The assortment of Merchandize ii pood. We anticipate a further improvement in trade. Asa material coniequence of a close money market, Real Estate is dull. The r&te of interest is higher— money bringing from 5 to 7 per month. Gold dust 16 to 16i. Recent arrivals show' a large amount of Merchandize, injured by being insufficiently protected for the voyage.
