Commercial Intelligence.

Times Office, Saturday Evening. The trade and commerce of the past week has been brisker than we have known it for many months past. There have been two foreign arrivals, the Maggie, brig, from Hobart Town, with a cargo of flour, timber, fruit, &c., and the brigantine Belle, from Melbourne, with a largo cargo of flour and other goods of consumption, which the market was bare of. In addition to the above, there have been numerous arrivals from the adjacent provinces; all of which have tended to give a decidedly business-like appearance to the port and town. In consequence of the quantity of flour which has been imported during the week, that commodity has fallen in price, and may now ho obtained at from £lB to £l9 per ton. The exports of cattle still continue. Ho fewer than 309 head of cattle, 34 calves,' and 761 sheep have been sent away during the week. The wool shearing is going ahead vigorously in the country districts. There has been about 39 bales received from the coast during the week, and the Dolphin sailed to-day for Wnngawehl, and may he expected hack in a day or two with a full cargo. We leam that the clip this season is expected to he an unusually heavy one. NAPIER TIMBER MARKET. The following have been the Importations for the week ending 17th November BA.WN TIMBER.
