COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
MELBOURNE GRAIN REPORT. The New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company report as follows to the 16th October : , . ■ Oats continue scarce, and for prime samples of clean stout milling we quote 5s 4d to 5s 5.1. This would only be for small parcels, the millers acting with the greatest caution, preferring to do this rather than lay in stocks at the extreme rates ruling. Biirley has surprised tho most sanguine. At the last sale of Chevalier, prices were run up to 9s I.\d for one lot. This was, however, caused by some spite that existed against the maltsters by a large distilling company, who, disappointed at not being able to get in at a low rate, resolved to make the maltsters suffer for it. This was an unexpected boon to the importers, who thus obtained the highest price ever paid here. Wheat very dull at 4s lid to ss. Bran, Is to Is O^d. Good feed oats, 4s lOd to 4s 10^d.
