The Press Association advises that information received here sbowe that thero have been two advances recently in the /values of corn sacks and binder twine, in which a heavy volume of business han been -done. Flour sacks also advanced from 12s. 6d. to 14s. 6d. on epot, and the Bupplics at.present are very scarce. This position has boen brought about' to a larpre extent by the fact that no information was received of the sailing of the steamer that usually bririts the November, shipment of these goods.
