MELBOURNE COMMIRCIAL.— Aran, 10.
Ib the import market business has not been
characterized by anything like activity, and
the sales effected have been of little importance.
Flour is steady at £12 to £12 b%, but only
trade parcels are moving off at the latter price.
Wheat is very saleable now at 5s. 8d,, but
owing to the small quantity offering, only
a very trifling business ia reported. Oats
are in request, but the demand is chiefly
confined to the disposal of seed parcels. For
feeding there is little enquiry; prices remain
unaltered, low qualities being quoted at 2a.
9d. to 2s. 10d.; medium, at 3a. to 3s. 2d. ; while
fine stout realize 3s. 3d. Feeding barley com
mands more attention. A parcel of Oregon waa
quitted at 3s. 4d., and for fine Cape 33. 6dV has
been obtained. Maize is moderately noticed at
4a. 5d. Sugars are quiet and do not call for
much attention, pending the public sale coming
off to-morrow. Teas are moving off steadily.
Trade parcels of common to medium congou
have been disposed of at Is, 2d. to Is. 61. A
line of 9(0 boxes is also stated to have changed
han^s at from Is. 3£d. to Is. 5£d. Candles are
steady at our quotation of lOd. to 10|i. A
few hundred boxes have been sold in trada
parcels at full ratec. A shipment of roiiu
has changed hands on private terms. Ccrn
sacks have been slow. About 200 bale3 will'ba
offered publicly to-morrow. Home advices
report a consioerabl9 advance on sardines.
Brandies are also stated to be very h'rn, and
prices are more likely to improve than recede;
of the latter there is eo probability. A parcel of
Bisquit Dubouche's brandy has been placed at
5«. 4d., but we understand the agents have since
raised the price to 5s. 6d. A lice of Hennesny's
1874 has been taken up at 7s. 3d. A shipment
of 600 caees of this brand has changed hands in
one line at a price sustaining tho trade rate of
30s. 6d. Sales of Devenish's and Bass's triangle
ale to a fair extent hare been effected.— Argiu.
