DUNEDIN.

As previously noticed, Melbourne advices have rather stiffened the the value of several staples, but the operations transpiring at altered prices have been of no moment. Wo note a tolerable degree of activity in breadstuffs and grain. In flour, millers have, it is said, accepted some considerable outside orders at rather under recent quotations ; but, at the same time, an improved feeling is evident with respect to wheats, and 4s 4d to 4s 7d is current for fair samples. Our quotations are—Flour (town made), £12 to £12 10a ; wheats, 4s 5d to 4s 7d j barley, 4s 6d to 4s SI j oats, 2s 7d to 2s 8d j bran, Is. In the general market, there have been moderate sales of sugars at very full rates, of cornsacks at 15s, of oilmen's stores at maintained prices, and some parcels, of teas for shipment. flTartells and Hennessy's brandies have been ■ quitted to some extent at prices not named, but probably not differing from our last reported rates. By auotioD, the business done has been rather light; at Messrs M'Lanl dress, Hepburn, and Co's rooms there were

quitted (with all faults)— Rice, at £16 15s; ordinary to better ordinary port wines, at £6 7s 6d to £1010s i crushed sugar, 52s 6d ; and pundry other goods at fair rates. —" Daily Times," April 2.
