Dunedin— The Daily Tunes pi the 30th, ult. leports : — There was more appearance of liveliness in business to-day, and a tolerable number of small parcels moving, though no very noticeable importers' sales. Intelligence from the Northern Goldiielrfs is satisfactory, and there seems a probability that the requirements for Auckland and the Thames will considerably relieve our markets of stock.

Amongst private sales, we hear of old torn at 15s ; Martell's brandy, pale, at Ss Cd ; corasacks, at maintained rates ; good medium congous at 2s 2§d, duty paid ; Morton's salmon, at 15s 0d ; Whybrow's £-pint salad oil, 8s $d ; and a fair sized parcel of bulk and case whiskies at prices not mentioned. Sugars are still looked for, and in the absence of advices as to shipments of the new crop being near at hand, continue to command very full rates,
