ADELAIDE.

The Register of the 3rd mat says:— Our report for some weeks back has spoken of advancing prices, and this week is no exception to this rule. So rery little wheat is coming, forward, and the demand for it is so great, that higher prices hare to be given from day to day, and even then millers find it very difficult to secure enough for grinding purposes. Farmers are not at all disposed to sell at the present figure, and hold confidently in the expectation of higher rates. There has been a fair trade doing in flour, and eeme huge parcels have changed hands both for export and home use. The millers hare very little on hand, and in the present state of the wheat market, hardly care about selling. The same paper of the 4th adds :— Hour—The market is quiet, and there are no transactions.* Prices the same —£21 10s to £22 10s per ton. Wheat—There is not quite so much demand. A sale was made early in the day at 9s per bushel; but since then a small quantity has been placed at 9s 2d, for delivery at the Port to-morrow. Buyers are generally unwilling to giye more than 9s, either in town or at the Port. Messrs. Parr and Luxmore sold at the Port on Friday, the 3rd inst., the Charlotte's cargo of Baltic redwood timber, as follows ;—4 x 9 and 9x3, 4f d, and 11 z3, 413-16 M per foot.
