COMMERCIAL.
Trade during the week now closed has been more active than might have been anticipated during the winter : the roads, on the whole, being in better condition than usual at this season of the year, a fair sprinkling of country orders has been received and executed. The chief noticeable feature in the transactions that have taken place Jis the advance in brandy. We last Saturday reported that it was firmly held. During the past week parcels of some magnitude have been purchased on Canterbury account, and Hennessy's cannot be obtained under 11s 3d to 11s 6d. The market is well supplied with kerosene, and prices are unchanged. In oilmen's stores no change has taken place ; the supply is good. Dried apples are much sought after, and the stock being low. command high prices. Sugars do not attract much attention, the trade being for the present fully supplied. Heavy stocks of ale and porter are on hand, and sales are limited to immediate demand. Cornsacks, which for some weeks past were almost unsaleable, are found to be scarce. There is much inquiry for them, and they realise from 13s 3d to 13a 6d. In other goods no change can be quoted.
