MELBOURNE.
The* Argus of the Ist inst. reports :—Bread•tuffs have been very quiet indeed. Supplies continue on very moderate sale, and though a lair quantity could be got rid of even at the extreme rates demanded, yet so little comes forward, that only tbe most trifling sales are being effected. Wheat maintains a very firm quotation of 6s 7d. Trade parcels of flour are disposed of at £12 16» to £13. Oats are steady at 3s to 3s 3d for feeding descriptions, according to sample, and any parcels placed on the market at once meet with a ready sale. We understand that negotiations are pending for the quittance of the Annie Beatvn's entire shipment ia one line. Maize is offering very freely,, and in parcels. Sales are effected at op to Ss ; small lots are got rid of at 3s Id. Fencing wire commands a good deal of notice ; and as much as £24 net was got for No. 8 Gospel Oak, in faulty condition.
