There have bean, bo transactions of any importance with either - fc-io Lake or S'witzer's. Cartage to the former ' . goldfield has ■ gone down to £24 per ton. The paucity «f importers for some time past has been extreme. As -compared with the business of two * months -ago, we may, however, congratulate the ' commercial community upon more life, and a greater activity. .- • . .1 » i QUEENSTOWW PRICES CURRENT.
