COMMERCIAL
PRODUCE CIRCULAR.
WOOL— The anniversary of the Queen's birth-
day holiday and the three days' races have to a
considerable extent superseded commercial trans-
actions, and there is consequently but little to
report under this head. The sales however, have
been about the currency of last week, with much
firmness in the market. One or two parcels of
fine scoured skin wool were disposed of privately
at 2s 4d. per lb.,
SHEEPSKINS. — Far too few for the wants of buy-
ers, and extreme figures are being freely paid ac-
cording to condition and description.
TALLOW. — The supply is only moderate, and
nearly the whole taken for home use at fair prices
considering the somewhat discouraging aspects of
the English markets, and upon the whole may be
reported very strong at late quotations.
HIDES.— Largo quantities have found their way
to market during the week, which produced a
somewhat depressing effect on prices, say about 2s.
to 3s. under last quotations.
HAY. — The late inclement weather has been
very detrimental to the ordinary course of supplies
and considerable quantities have sustained serious
injury, so much so, that the few lots of procurable
are immediately brought up at an advance of
£2 to £3 per ton, — £10 to £12 being now cur-
rent for Lucerne.
OATS AND BARLEY.— Prices quite nominal,
there being scarcely a sample to be seen in the
market.
MAIZE. — Through the improved state of the
weather, the arrivals are evidently on the increase
such, however is the almost unprecedented exhaust-
sion of stock generally that buyers in their great
need have again been compelled to yield to a fur-
ther advance of 1s to 1s 6d per bushel even on the
extreme of last week, a little over 12s. having
been realised.
WHEAT AND FLOUR.— The reports of an upward
movement in the Melbourne market, by this
morning's mail, have created some excitement
here, and there is an evident disposition to ope-
rate freely in best qualities of wheat and fresh
made flour, at an advance of £1 to £2 per ton,
and 2s. to 3s. per barrel respectively on the
latter and 6d. and 1s. per bushel on the former.
Millers have raised their prices £2 per ton but the
sales effected are scarcely up to those quotations.
