SYDNEY MARKETS. Friday Evening, June Bth, 1855.

Grain and Flour.— There has been great increase m the price of wheat and flour during the past week. From the very short supply of the foreign article, with the impreeed'ent dearth in the colonial supply, it is feared that price? will maintain their present figure for some time. There are several vsssels laden with flour expected soon from South America. Their arrival now would be most opportune. The following are present prices : Sussex-street Mills, T. Barker and Co. report : —Fine flour £45 per ton ; seconds, £43 ditto ; wheat, 17s. per bushel; bran, 3s. 6d. do. Victoria Mills, Messrs. Berkleman and Bate report as follows :— Fine flour £45 per ton ; seconds £43 ditto : wheat from 17s. 6d. to 18s. 6d. per bushel ; bran 3s. 6d. do. Mr. Breillat reports— The.market as being very unsettled, the late importations have been all sold at very high prices, principally to the trade, and wheat is now readily purchased at 18*. per bushel In the early part of the week flour advanced to £43 per ton, and a further rise has again taken place, the Mill price being now £ to per ton for fine, and £42 ditto for seconds ; bran 3s. per bushel.
