Sydney, February 8. Messrs Griffiths and Co. quote New Zealand wool as follows : — lnferior fleece, 6d to 8d per lb ; average to good, 8d to lOd ; superior, lid to 12d ; cross-bred — average to good, lid to 12d ; lambs — inferior to ordinary, 7d to lOd ; pieces, 4d to 6d ; washed fleece, 19d ; -washed lambs, 15d ; washed pieces, lOd ; scoured, 18d. The arrivals of wool are now beginning to show a falling off, and an early date may now be looked for for the closing of the season. Supplies from these colonies to the home market will probably continue to remain unincreased, even if not diminished, as both New South Wales and Victoria are not likely, so far as we can judge, to show a very successful year of production for next season. Adelaide. The South Australian Insurance Company show a net profit for the half-year of £7,800. A heavy demand for wheat is springing up from Sydney, owing to advices that the New Zealand crop is damaged by rain. Large sales have taken place at 6s 2d. London, February 17. The wheat market is depressed. 1,750,000 bushels are afloat for England. 400 bales of New Zealand hemp sold at £22 10s to £25 10s.
