fSbfi k Axgua of thf> 3Qgi,i»lt L 'reppijte ?:— ■■." ' In the import markets a steady business cpn-tUhxie&io'be-reported'.: 'Infbresdstuffßwe nqtc a good' trade 'demand for; flour, at £16J, ,Np transactions of a larger character,' ho werer, hare been carried through. £14 17s 6d was accepted by auction for inferior, and £15 12s 6d -was refused for Wangaratta. An extensive enquiry for wheat has come under notice, and numerous sales hare i

been effected. Privatelyparcels to the extent. of 1,700 bags have been quitted at prices ranging according to quality, from 6s 7d to 6s 10^d and 7s. Under the hammer, up to 7s l£d was realised for fine ; 6s. to" 6s 64 was obtained for medium, and 4s 6cl toi4B 9d for inferior. In oats there has been little doing ; a firmer feeling, however, exists. Good feeding qualities Sold publicly this forenoon at 3s, and as much as 3s 3d was offered for a fine milling sample. Maize likewise , show's^ an improving,; tendency ; there is, little offering, the market being exceedingly bare of supplies. Sales have been, made at 3s 3d. Bran - commands-more attention. We hear, of, 6,00.0. .bushels having been quitted at lSjld. Kerosene. oil is quieter ; there is<no lack, of inquiry, but no' sales have... been. ..recorded. ...The. inquiries for sugar, reported for the last day or two, have at length led to something of a rnbre definite nature. We" understand that the entire cargo of the Racer has changed hands in one line. This shipment comprises 5,700 bags and 6,500 mats, and the operation is likely to impart additional firmness to an already improving market. A line of 300 bags fine white crystals has been placed at £42. In teas, we hear of a moderate business, and sales have been made at Is 2d to Is 5d for com- < mon to medium congous. In liquids, we learn |of brandies being somewhat slow. Hennessy's I pale brandy, in bulk, is moving off in small lots ' I at 6s 9d, and we are informed of 7s having been i paid for 1869 brandy. Case Hennessy's is very firm at 26s 9d. Fine qualities of stout are rising in value ; 10s 9d is now required for Burkes bottling.
