COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
3>-veecaegii.l Times Otfick. Monday evening. Invercargill appears to be in a state ot transition—a scarcity of many descriptions of nierchun- j disc, and at the same time a very brisk demand for teams for the goldlields. Orders still continue (o come in, and supply does not at present, anything like equal the demand. In another column will be found intelligence which will in all probability act as a strong stimulant to the energies of the mercantile community ; for although in some articles up country quotations are scarcely as high as they were a short time since, still, tho latest news from the mines is of such a character as to ensure a very considerable increase to our population before long, and consequently we must adhere to our previous opinion, that price 3 generally will advance considerably . Flour has advanced L' 2 per ton in town, and a further rise may be confidently expected. The clipper schooner Queen of Perth, brings -132 bag;s of the latter and a miscellaneous cargo, amongst other things, G drays. The Australian also brings a number of the same articles. Good brands of bottled ale and porter are scarce, nnd in demand.
