COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE

SOTTTHLAKD TIMES OFFICE. Friday Evening. The revenue collected at the Custom-house for the past two days for articles cleared for home consumption was as follows : — Yesterday, £90 3s. 8A i to-day, £151 ; together, £241 Bs. Bd., heme duties levied as follows : — Brandy, 86 gals £38 14 0 Geneva, -60 gals £26 17 2 Whisky, 68 „ 30 12 0 Wine, 293 „ 43 19 0 Beer bottle-77 gals. 3 17 0 Beer, (in bulk), 300 7 10 0 Tobacco, 270-lbs 20 5 0 Drapery, 60 13 8 Sundries.. 8 15 10 £241 S 8 The Australian and other advices regarding the state ofthe Soar market h 8^ 6 caused some excitement here, cad a rise of fully £2 perton baa. been

the result. We believe holders of best Adelaide will not now sell under £32, and we are aware of one firm immediately on the receipt of a ; telegram of the price of flour in Melbourne (when tho s.s. Gothenburg reached Bluff Harbor) buying all the parcels wliich could be laid hands on at £30. It is unlikely, for some time to come, that any downward tendency will take place here. With the exception bf flour, however, wo cannot report any change in quotations of other articles. The markets generally are quiefc, but a. general feeling is beginning to manifest itself of a moro healthy and satisfactory business in all departments of trade, which it is fully expected will now continue to improve.
