Commercial Summary.

Times Office^ •^^" ;••; Tuesday Evening. *•■■.;£• Flour has been selling afc £17 for Adelaide and - Californian. It being now chiefly in the hands of one firm, the probability of a temp orary small advance may be calculated upon. The nearness of the Australian harvest, however, will prevent anything lite a considerable or permanent advance in the value of breadstuff's. Teas and sugars are • pretty equally held by our leading firms, and their values are unchanged.
