THE MELBOURNE MARKETS. The Argua of the 10th inst. says Breadutoffir are atill neglected, and nothing of any special interest is allowed to come before us. Flour is moving in tvade parcels at LS 12s fid and LS Ins,"but the demand even in such small quantities is very trifling. Wheat is steady at 4s, at which, however, buyers operate very sparingly indeed. Oats are firm at quotations ranging from Is lOd to 2s 3sd for feeding, and a good trade inquiry exists. Maize is moving at 3s 3d, and no business has been carried through at anything over. A few parcels of feeding barley hare been sold at 2s 3d to 2s 6d. Bran meets with considerable attention for expost, at from lOid to lid.
