COMMERCIAL.
New Zealand Mail Office, Friday evening. The bad weather of the past week has served to check any improvement that was thought to be noticeable at the commencement of the month, and leaves little room for remark. Stocks are moderate, and prices with few exceptions unaltered. Dried fruits have met with good inquiry, and stocks of currants in first hands are quite out. Eleme raisins and sultanas are also becoming rather scarce. We quote currants at ssd to 6d per lb.; raisins, 6£d to7d per lb., and sultanas 8d for wholesale parcels.
Elour continues dull of sale. We notice the arrival of a cargo of Adelaide flour at Invercargill, and in all probability we may expect cargoes at several of the other ports in New Zealand, since the imposition of duties on that article in Melbourne, must oblige the Adelaide people to seek a more favorable market elsewhere for their surplus. Canterbury flour as we have always held has been obliged to give way, and prices are now quoted at £l4 to £l4 15s per ton. Oats are unaltered in value. Prime feeding oats in first hands have been scarce, but there are several lots of an inferior quality in the market difficult to place, except at a very low figure.
