TASMANIAN COMMERCIAL.

HOB AUT TOYF-V. Nothing has transpired during the week lo in any way relieve the oVpressinn which has existed since the ht lidnys. Tne -advices hy tbe Hariluh j and Tasmania on Friday, were of rather a c,i<- j coura»iing utture, and in timber and some few i oth-'r i.Caeiiptioiis of colonial produce, a decline in j prices must ensue. I Tue sales of grain have beftn few and unimportant, and hnve ranged, for wheat, from os 3d to 5s 9d. Oats, havp been cleardd in very small parcels at 6s to 6s 671. Hay, loose, has been offered freely at £i 10s to j £5 10s, but of couutry pressed there is little coming forward. The entire stocks of old potatoes have been cleared out, and ih> few new ones being shi'-ped, scarcely aff ird'a legitimatf* quotation to guide the qrowp.r. The crop is s:»id to be quite equal to hist year's in most- localities. Wosil has engrossed the most attention, and several larjre clips have changed hanris at Is od ; infprior and small clips have ranged from Is 2d to ls 4-1. — Mercury, January 11. "LAUXCKSaTOX. Tlip flour and grain market is intensely dull — liieially nothing diiins. Besides. the D.morlan, Antipodes, and Caroline, all loading rapidly f-r London, there is only on* vessel — the Welcome, fbr Invercargill — taking in cargo.
