Dundee goods: Cornsacks are selling at 12s, but business is exceedingly quiet. There is some trade in woolpacks, at 3s lOd to 3s lid per pack. Fish: The anticipation of further shipments of American salmon makes holders anxious to quit, while the trade are indisposed to buy at above 10s for parcels.

Oilman’s stores, groceries, &c.: There has been a little move movement at current market rates, but prices show no tendency to improve, and stocks are again abundant. Teas: The telegraphic news per Alexandra should be favourable, to holders, if borne our, by the advices which may be expected at the end of this week.
