The amount of revenue received at the Cus-tom-house or. *,oods cleared for consumption this day was L 1,650 3s Bd. THE LABOR MARKET. Mr Hooper reports that female servants are in very great demand. Good general servants for town and suburbs easily command L4O per year, and for the country L 45 to LSO ; housemaids, L 35 ; nursegirls, L3O; cooks, LSO to L 55. Laborers are also in very great demand, easily getting 8s per day. The demand for useful workers of every kind is greatly in excess of the supply. The absorptive power of the Province is truly astonishing, not a soul, either male or female, who is worth anything for work, need be idle for a single day.
