GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKETS.

(Bl OFB COMMERCIAL KDITOR.) Friday Evening. The Xew Zealand Flourniillora' Association held a meeting yesterday, and ude a further advance in the price of ' lour, the quotation now being £12 per on for sacks. The rise is evidently in anticipstion if the advanced price that must now c paid to secure supplies of wheat, lillers hare held off ht the hope thnt ;ricce would oeeo. and arc now findi:ig their stocks getting low, end prices lecidedly firmer. Aβ high as 4& 10d is reported to have been paid at xitntry stations this week, but holdere iavo been standing out for os, and it : $ anticipated th.it even offere of this figure will scarcely suffice in the preent state of the market. The notation that took place for a rmoval of the duty on wheat and flour is so.id to have deterred many farmers from putting in more wheat, ■md at the same timo the rise in the npiket in Australia would have pre/ented the landing of any quantity of >hesper wheat, had the duty been taken off. __ The quantity of wheit shipped from Sydney to New Zealand since December Ist was r<9lo bushels end 16,873 sacks of floor (2001b). The Winimere on her ket trip from Melbourne brought over 60 sacks of wheat, end 315 sack? of flour. Oate are very firm, end up to & Id »t country stations has been paid.
