We take, the following from the Argus of the 10th inst. :— There was no improvement whatever observable in the import market to-day. The reports in circulation with reference to, the Ministerial tariff propositions, though creating some little speculative feeling,, have not led to business to any extent. Flour and wheat have been : in somewhat active demand, at prices ranging from. £21 to £21 10s. for Havb's brand, and £20 10s. to £31. for other superior brands. New wheat is much wanted. The stocks of old wheat are being rapidly cleaved , out. ' 'Sales took place to-day at Bs. 6d.-, and the same price was refused by other holders. 3,000 bushels of Chilian changed hands afc 6s. 9d. By auction, considerable sales of Chilian flour and wheat have been effected ; but US the lots wqre xriore'or less in an unsound condition, the prices obtained afford no guidance as to the mai'ket value of sound weH-conditioned parcels.
