Australian—Arrivals ha.ve a*ain been Small,, only the s.s. Macedonia, with about 17,000 boxe>. coming to hantlj. There has been a good demand, and this has enabled sellers to clear up some of the accumulations of the last few weeks, and although buyers mostly require best butters, there has been an improvement in the trade of the secondary sorts, and it is to be hoped that this will continue. The market certainly looks now ill a better state than has been the ease for some little time, and we expect, when trade resumes after the holidays, that arrivals wyi be cleared as tlie.v come to hand, .as buyers seem to be running their stocks pretty'low.
