Messrs Coldsborough Mnrt and Co., report under data :— MkI.HOUKNK, February!!. —Since the date df our last monthly repm t the largely increased deliveries of wheat havei caused a heavy business to bo transuded for export, both to the United Kingdom and the noiKlibnurinpt colouies. (Ml the availab.e tonnage has been taken up, at rates ot freight current dining the season to burope —viz from to o7s fxl |>o.v ton, accruing to class and sura of ship. During the month a concession in price to shippers has given a (,'ond stimulus to buuines , but the principal drawback to our export trade at the present time is the dilliculty experienced in obtaining sufficient shipping, We see no reason tn alter our views as to the surplus available for export, winch should, before the close of tho aoasoti, snow a total or tuily 'jriO.UOO t'-ns, tho quality of which nnexceptionable. Our latest advice trotn Homo is rather unfavourable, a slight tali, in the pneo of whoat having tiucon plfice , Imt in the face of the enotnious quantities on hand wo can look for no advance in price, unless harvest prospects abroad should assume an unfavourable aspect. Wheat is worth from Ss id to 3s od per lr-„shel for all good milling and shipping duality ; inferior and medium, frt in lis !)d l.i 3s id.
