Oammu —Wheat: Since last reporting we ha\e found |)nme nulling wheat—of which there in no great quantity siv.nlabli> here—in much stronger demand. Holder are now asking 2a 2d, an advance of 2d per bushel on last quotations, Buyers are ,w» yet gjiwillmg to extent their limits so far, but «fl!es of spvcial thnw-aiul sacks at 3s Id have b-en uiadu. A vessol is at present » loading with a cargo purchased at this |rme, for Tasmania, that colony beingnow, accordintr to litf*t advices, wholly de|>endent on Australia and New Zealand forhpr mipply of bicuNtutfH From Honth Australia we hear that wheat is rapidly lHingiu v ilue, and that, in consequence of tho small quantity available, many of the nulls have etopppd altogether, while ruiitTH aie working day-time only. Medium " wheat is, at the moment not much enquired for, but a demind for it at impioved piices w ill no doubt arise in sympathy with the hardening in values of prune quality. Inferior and fowl-feed are rather better than when we last wrote, owing to the small quantity offering.
