TASMANIA. Hob Town . —The Hobart Town Murcury, of the 28th March, reports;— There has been little doing in the markets to-day, and we have consequently little more to do than repeat our former price lists. The recant, large arrivals of wheat having been freely supplemented by our farmers, there is no scarcity of grain; indeed, a good deal more is offering than can find a ready market. We heard yesterday of sales at a considerably lower figure than we have lately been stating, and it may be advisable to quote prices now at from about 7s 6d to 7s 8d per bushel, Plotir is now £l7 per ton at the mills; bran, Is 3d per bushel; sharps, £lO per ton. In general produce there is not much doing. Hay is not forward very freeiy, and our former prices are maintained, viz., from £7 to £7 10s per ton. Oats are, scarce, and from 4s 3d to 4s 6d per bushel is their price Barley is m good demand: Cane is Quoted at froni 4s 6d to 6s per bushel, and English at from 6a to 6s 3d per bushel. Launceston .—We take the following froxh the Examiner of the 27th:— Sinee our last article news has been received of fresh arrivals in the other colonies from California. This had the effect of again depressing the m&rket, though we are now better able to give quotations for wheat and flour, something decided, having been arrived at. Hour, £l6; wheat, 6s; oats are slowly changing at from 4s 3d to 4s 6d; bran, Is; hay, £4 10s, with a want still existing ; rasmaman oatmeal, 80s to 325; butter, potted, Is 3d.
