GREY RIVER.

Business remains dull, the rush to the South continuing to operate unfavorably. The rumored discovery of a rich gold-field up the Little Grey, has, however, raised the spirits of traders in this district, and no doubt if the rumour proves to be correct the discovery -will exercise a very beneficial effect on business here. Very little addition has been made to our stocks, and what lias come to hand has, as a rule, been the same description of goods with which this market was previously well supplied. The only exception is a parcel of hams and bacon to hand per Goldseeker, from Melbourne. This line is unchanged in value here, and all coming to hand can be sold readily at extreme rates. In Melbourne even an advance on last quotations has taken place consequent upon the loss of 23 tons which were on board the London. For a few months to come we need not expect much decline. Butter, provincial, is advancing daily. No advices have been received from Wellington since our last, but in Nelson, holders refuse to sell under 25., and in Dunedin that price is willingly paid. Other articles remain as before. —G. i?. Argus,
