SYDNEY.

The Herald of the Ist reports business quiet The Empire says :—: — Wool : The market is almost bare of any really good parcels, and those remaining are mostly ends of clips or lots which have passed through the scourers' hands ; prime wools command a slight advance on last month's rates. Breadstuffs and Cereals : Great uncertainty still | prevails as to the yield of last harvest, especially that of South Australia. Holders of stock in that colony report that very little remains for export. The price of wheat in that market ranges at from 8s 6d to 9s for best ; flour from £22 to £23. Agents of Adelaide houses, having acted upon instructions to advance their rates, have brought into the Sydney market a free supply of breadstuffs from the Southern and Western districts. Adelaide silkdressed flour is at present selling at £23 to £24 ; inferior at from 20s to 30s per ton lets ; Victorian and Tasmanian at £19 to £21 ; Sydney mills, £21 ; oountry, £20 to £21.
