Thelist of exports from ho.me . market^ to Qtagp and Melboiu-oie, shows a considerable; decrease in shipments of most goods.

M'Laiidress, Hepburn and Co., 'offered, about 300 tons .Chilian at their rooms, a' small /portion of which was placed at £26 cash. Subsequently £25 was offered for the whole parcel, but; was not accepted, the holders being, sanguine as to a speedy improvement in its value. ' , . Prom four to five hundred hhds. of ale have passed from importers to second hands, principally of Younger's, Dawson's, London and Colonial Co.'s, and Crown brands. The price realised was from £5 10s. to £7. lQa., D |P ; ftlao, about 2,000 eases ©f ale, iv. bottle, -were placed at XOs. to 11s.. Gd.

By reference to the pvices cuvrent an advance will be -gaen to have taken place in Melbourne, the shipments expected there being light.
