The following is an extract from a letter received from "a large -wholesale house in Melbourne ; —'' Our sugar market is at present in a lower state than it has been for years. So far as Mauritius sugars are concerned, there is not a bag in fresh hands, and scarcely any in the hands of the trade. Prices for all kinds have advanced^ considerably, except the Company's qualities. The Company 'is still keeping down prices, but they may advance any day." The Board of Education is again in trouble with the rector of the High School, who declines to make any recommendation re an application of one of the masters for leave.
