COMMERCIAL.
Argus Office, Tuesday afternoon. Business has been fair during the past week, but it is expected that there will be a slight lull, as is generally the case after the holidays, Stocks are pretty full, with the exception of oats, of which there are, however, sufficient to supply all demands until the new ones come in, which event is expected to take place at the end of the month, although it is thought the crops will not be heavy. For Robertson and Hallenstein’s flour there is still a fair demand, it being the only kind now used in the district. The share market is at present dull, and we have no important sales to mention. The want of public crushing machinery will seriously affect the progress of our reefs for some time to como. Quotations are as follow : Flour (Robertson & Hallensteiu’s). —£17 to El 9 per ton. Pollard do. do. £l3 per ton. Bran do. do. 9 ~ ~ Oats.—6a per bushel. Wheat.—7s per bushel. Chaff.—£7 per ton. Hay—£9 ~ ~ Straw.—£7 ~ i, Potatoes. —£8 ~ Bread.—ls per 41b loaf.
