COMMERCIAL.

New Zealand Mail Office, Friday evening, A moderate amount of business has been done during the week, with little or no alteration in prices, our markets being well supplied by the arrival of the Halcione with any of those articles, which in the ordinary course of consumption were becoming rather scaree. Woolpacks have been in more active demand, prices have gone up in England, and holders are asking 4s 9d to 5s for full sized packs. Flour is moderately firm at £ls 5s to £ls 10s per ton for first-class Canterbury brands; Adelaide is quoted at £l7 per ton—as the trade is pretty well supplied, there does not appear any probability that the increase in the tariff alluded to in the Colonial Treasurer's financial statement will affect prices in this part of the colony for some little time to come. Sugars continue dull and unaltered in value. Feeding grains are in fair supply, good Canterbury oats being quoted at 3s per bushel for a shipment. Maize dull, at 3s 9d to 4s per bushel. AUCKLAND SHARE MARKET. The " Southern Cross" of the Bth inst., quotes Mr Newman's report of the Share Market to this effect -.—The share market has been unsettled. Very few sellers of Caledonians at vesterday's rates. Thames somewhat lower. My sales comprise—Caledonians, £157, £157 10s, and £l6O ; Thames, £2B, £27 ss, and £2810s; Otago, 85s ; All Nations, £5 ss; Tokateas, 90s. Sellers—Moanataiaris, £5; Inverness, 20s ; Thames, £29. The following appears in the telegraphic news of the same date from the Thames : Business in the share market is dull in the matter of leading stocks. Tookey shares are gcarce at £33; Caledonian, buyers, £160; Thames, £3O; Otago, in demand at 82s 6d ; Nonpareil, 95s ; Golden Calf, 52s 6d j Smiling Beauty, 3s ; Central Italy, 50s. Cheistohueoh.—The "Lyttelton Times" of Saturday laßt reports '—Nothing is doing in the grain market to call for special notice, exports for the moment being quite suspended. Wheat remains nominally at 5s to 5s 3d, but few sales have transpired. Flour continues to be quoted at £ls for best brands, but the business doing is entirely confined to local consumption. Oats are in improved request, and holders in store are now demanding 2s 8d for picked samples of milling sorts; for forward delivery we cannot quote anything over 2s 6£d to 2s 7d. A few sales of barley have transpired at 3s up to 3s 8d for prime parcels of malting samples. In provisions, a good business continues to be done, at last week s quotations. Butter is held firmly at 7d to 7id. There is little doing in cheese at 3|d to 4d. For hams and bacon we quote 7d to 7£d for really prime lots, packed for export.

I applied to your agents, Mr Bell Berkley, for the above named Pills,' for wind in the stomach, for which I suffered excruciating pain for a length of time, having tried every remedy perscribed, but without deriving any benefit at all. After taking two bottles of your valuable pills I was quite restored to my usual state of health. Please give this publicity for the benefit of those who may thus be afiiicted."—l am, Sir, yours truly, Henby Allpass.—To the proprietor! of Nobton's Camomile Pills.
