This fmituro is common at this season of the year and hence neod hardly oxcite surprise. Town millen, having supplied immediate wants, nro again ablo to hold off the market in the anticipation that the course of mmits may influence prices in their favour. Latest cabin iidvicus from our Loiulmi hmisu report that market inactive, with lower quotations both fur spot imrcels and for caivots. To a certain extent this eusiui' tone may be traced to tho l.irp) nljipniunts afloat for the fjnited Kingdom and the Continent, whilst the repoitH of a '■ bourn " harvest in the United .States must also influence the market. Airainst this, an arfeetinn the future of prices, wo havo reports of further inclement weather in Kurope, which may inlhiencc tho outturn of the Italian and Hungarian wheat harvests, Present London quotations for Vicr.'U'iau are equa! to about IaLM to -Is ::d per bunhel in .Melbourne, so that fresh business this season with the United Kingdom is very improbable.---Wheat : The demand if late has been restricted, and f>s is now unobtainable for prime lots.

Tho value of wheat haa not maintained last month's quotations, the tone of the market being weak, with a marked iib-'cnco of buyer* at tho moment. Shipments to tho 'United Kingdom are almost closed for the season, tliß state of thfl Europe.ui markot otleritiß no inducetnont to shippers to enter into fresh enticements, while the balance of thu season's wheat crop still available will bo required to supply tiie wants of tho other colonies.
