TASMANIA.

We have files from Hobart Towu to the 16th iust. ' The " Mercury" reports as follows :—: — Tho nowa from the colonies to-day has been received in so unsatisfactory a manner that it has had no perceptible effect upon the markela. As far as general produce is concerned, the markets continue voef firm. We are told that the millers decliue to sell flour under LlO, and we heard also of an offer having been mado for a quantity ab even a higher figure. Of wheat tho market is almost bare, all that was offering having boen bought up for shipment. Thero is wheat in store procurable at v pi-ice, but we believe there is little, if any, saleable under 53 per bushel. We "have Launceston advices to the 17th instant. The " Examiner" says :—: — Since the new 3 brought by tho last s I earners from Melbourne of tho improved prices of breadstuff* those articles have ■maintained a firm stand here, though thore has been little or no advance in rates. Wheat is sjteady at 4s ; flour, L9to L 9 10s ; oats, Is 6d*to 2s 3d. 'Hay has experienced a slight decline, owing to the large quantity brought into the market lately. Potatoes are firmer, being now worth 30a without bags.
