bYDNEV, Mavoli 5. The wheat markets in the Australian colonies, particularly at Melbourne,, are in an unsettled and excited state'. At Adelaide, wheat is quoted at ds7d to 4s BJd; at Melbourne, at 5s Id, and roller made flour £l2 10s. The Sydney price is 5s 3d. The publication of the estimate showing a great deficiency in the yield will probably causo a further rise. Some exception is talion to the official estimate of the amount required for consumption in New South Wales. The statistician illows 6f bushels per head, whereas Victoria only requires 6£. The statistician defends his computation on the ground that in New South Wales the adult population is larger than in the sister colony.
