COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

Southland Times Office, Monday Evening. The foUowing are the Custom Returns for — Monday, 30tb July.

o The subjoined is the commercial article of the " DaUy Times " (Dunedin), of the 27th July :— The business of the last two days has presented * Tery Uttle of interest, and but for a little demand for country requirements would have been slack. Flour stands nominaUy at last quotations, but the transactions in imported have been insignificant. Teas and sugars have both been dealt in at fuUy maintained prices; but not in heavy parcels. The markets are without any alteration calling for special notice. The '-Westland Observer" (Okarita), of the 14th July has the foUowing items of commercial intelligence : — ; The markets recently so bare, are now sufficiently stocked for some time ; a fair supply of sapply of fiour, potatoes and other asticles ruling i high, having arrived by the two vessels in port i from Melbourne and Dunedin. Horsefeed is also more plentUuL but the price is not likely to go lower than 9s per bushel, unless heavier ship**_ents come to hand. Adelaide flour may stiU be quoted at £&i per ton, the supply being in few hands. Potatoes, ruling early in the week at 20s per cwt., may now be quoted at 17s. Trade during the week has been of the same d_U character which it had assumed for the past month ; and there is little encouragement offering to induce heavy shipments.
