Sales by auction keep down prices, as many goods are forced into sale that are not just now in demand, and consequently, do not realise their real value. In the ordinary course of trade there is no alteration from recent quotations. At E. J. Duncan’s sale of flour, spirits, groceries, &c., on Wednesday last, the following prices were realised, the biddings being dull and wanting in spirit:—s tons Adelaide flour, Crawford's mills, £l2 ; S do Hawke’s mills, £l2 155.; and 12 tons Dunn’s flour, at 13155. per ton; 100 sacks bran, Is. 2d. per bushel; Tennent’s ale, 10s.
