WELLINGTON.

Independent office, Jan. 29. Large quantities of wool have been received for shipment during the past week, and the country orders consequent thereou have) given some little impetus to trade, whiclvnevertheless, shews few signs of the &qtivUythat usually characterises it at this seiSojni Imported goods remain unaltered in Value, and yield but a small margin of proM-while sales, if forced, produce considerable Joss on many descriptions. At MeMsfcTurnbull, Keeves&.Co's sale on the 2 M?^i^: Victorian <&m P a&£| sfiiß^mß^d^^-Ma. per ton ; •'Mauritius whl^¥^sSis^Uß per ton, duty paid; oysierß? in tins, 7s. per doz ; oatmeal, 15b, per'cwt ; Omaru flour, £15 per ton ; and the bulk of the goods had to be withdrawn. Some enquiry has been made for Wellington butter in kegs, and sales have been effeoted at BJd to 9Jd per lb for prime cures. It is not improbable that the drought in Australia may oause some improvement in the demand, and we cannot too strongly urge upon our farmers the use of more care in the curing of this important article of export.
