rp, , •' v ** i xuLiii .. XiMOf » v lucre baa noticeable improvement In trade during 1 the past week, and in the face of the-present stagnati n prevailing in every branch of bifefness, it is impossible to write cheerfully, although many are of opinion that wo have seen the worst, jrrlces of all imported goods remain low, and in effecting sales cash buyers expetfc, and are entitled to special concessions, which leave little or no profit to the seller. Stocks generally are greatly in excess Hennessy's case brandy being almost the only article that is scarce, to the advantage of other brands • holders quote 3 Od to 35s 6d per case. Dim.vine's whUky (in casc>.fa also rather low in stock. In produce there is no change from last week s rates, with the x« eption of Canterbury and Qamarn flour, which holders hav© advanced 9 0a per ion. \Ye quote best brands at £ll to £l2los, alt ough we hardly think the advance can be sustained in the face of the large stocks on band. Butter in kegs continues in little demand except for local trade, and is 3?i°r th «? 0d ? £ lld P ?r lh for prime. Cheese dull, at 7<l to Sd per lb. Bacon and haras are lightly stocked, and the new curq is worth Sd to9dper lb. Oats are fairly stocked, at 2s 9d to 3s per bushel; 750 sacks were so.d by Mr. G, Thomas on Fri lay last for net cash at 2a 4d to 2aßd per bushel, but the samples were only a medium quality. Maize xIuU, at 4s; bran, lOd; pollard, per ton; potatoes, 105 s to 110 s per ton. *
