The following remarks are added, by the ' Empire.' " The flour and grain market has been inactive, and wa have not heard of any particular movements. Most of the millers still quote fine flour at. j?lß,;and;seconds at Jfl6 per ton/ Messrs Furlong and Kennedy's rates are 20s. under these figures. The Chili Flour Company give the prices of their flour at j617: per ton,and 'Sydney-made flonr at jflß.per top.... The colonial wheat is again coming but slowly into the ; market both'byland and water carriage ; —very, few: parcels .have arrived during the 'week: the ; prices-range from' 6s.1 to 6s. 3d, per bushel; the growers * have large stocks on hand, but they do not feel inclined to -j enter the market. Maize remains without alteration, say from 4s. 3d. to 4s. 9d. per busheh There-has been aij ■lightly increased demand for shipment for the southern trade.' . T;U ; i;;.,'U ; V ,;\ .J. : A .private letter observes:—"As regards the Sydney ; markets in the grain trade, although high quotations are to be seen in the papers those prices are not to be depended upon, as the .trade is very dull, and in fact, all sellers and no purchasers ; and the actual selling price for wheat is not more than from ss. to sp. 6d. per bushel. Flour can, for \ the; large stocks on hand,'also be purchased at prices to "suit 'purchasers,1 say '.from j£l2 per.ton for stale up to £ 18:.for . best. -The only circumstance that can relieve the colonial ; markets is the shipment of, wheat from Adelaide to Great: Britain.", , '" ' . ; England has been much talked of as ; a market. On this subject the Melbourne prices Current—a new and very excellenfrjournal-r-observes,:- — .. ; .'? It lias been stated that orders have bean received for wheat at Adelaide, but as it cannotbe landed in an English port under about 645. per quarter, there appears little chance of' a profit. i We perceive that on the 17th October ; last, Essex wheat was worth 68s. to 78s. per quarter in Mark Lane; and considering the risk of the voyage and of a fall in prices the margin appears too small. It is possible ' however that the trade may be tried, and if this is done to any extent it will establish a minimum price in the Austraian colonies." * ; , .■ 'MELBOURNE.
