THE GREY.

The Grey River " Argus," cf the 15tb iustanfc, contains the following commercial and market reports :—: — Though a nnmlier of veshois have entered tho harbor during tho lns>t few days, their cargoes are such a-s cot to influence the market in any way, tho present 'prosperity of tho diggings rendering the demand for most articles considerably over tho supply, particularly for flour, bacon, ham, butter, aud oats. In reference .to the former article, it is a matter of surprise, that it should have so little tendency to advance,-par-ticularly as our supply is so limited, jind in the face of lato advices from the Australian markets, vhcreariseof L 5 pir ton -has taken place in almost every description of floftr.
