AUSTRALIAN. Melbourne —The Argus of Jon. 30 reports :-Iu the import market to-day trade has been . exceedingly, quiet, ■ the great ho it of the weather having had the effect of nearly bringing business to a standstill, and excepting the auction sale of tea, which went off very freely indeed, no -transactions have reached us. B. eadstuffs, as far as regards flour, have had little attention, and the market is scarcely so strong. Wo quote JBIO Ids, hut wo have nothing of importance to refer to in the way of sales. Wheat is still quoted privately at 48 Bid, though the rates obtained at auction for fins do not go beyond 4s Bd. One lino of 690 bags realised this price; at same time numerous small lots were disposed of at prices ranging, according to quality, from Ss to 3s lOd and 4s 7d. San Francisco advices to Dec. 19, just to hand, quote fair shipping lots of wheat at l-71idol; superfine flour, at 4dol to 4*25d01; and extra superfine, at 4‘30d0l to 4 50dol ; oats were quoted at 1*35i0l to I'SOdol; malting barley ruled at 1 ISdol to 1.20d0L Oats, Victorian, are quoted at Sa to 4s. Under the hammer parcels were disposed of at 3s to 3s sd. Maize is going off for trade purposes at up to 4s 7d, but there are no inquiries for parcels. Sugars firmly maintain their position, and though few sales have been reported, the market is yet alive. ‘Wo understand that a large business Is pending. A line of 399 bags of brewers' has been placed at £32 10s. Teas are foing off steadily. At auction this afternoon ;he bidding was free, and in consequence aeonsiderable trade was done. Out of 5,176 packages offered in one instance, the auctioneers succeeded in getting rid of 4,100 packages at 9d to Is id for congous, and la 2d to Is 6id for S, O. pekoes, while 1.000 half-chests and chests congous were cleared off at XOd to Is 4d. Privately, a line of 450 halfchests low congous were quitted for export at close on 8d per lb. Comsaeks are quieter again; holders accept 8s 6d readily enough for ordinary requirements, and to get rid of anything like parcels a concession on that quotation would have to be made. Candles are very slow, and only the merest trade lots can be goc rid of at 9i<l to 9{jd. In liquids, nothing of a special character has been reported. Adelaide. —The S. A. Register of Jan. 27 reports Business in the breadstnffs market is rather dull, and there is less demand. For small lots of wheat we quote 4s 8d in town and at Port Adelaide, and 4s M on the wharf at Port Pine, and for shipping parcels from 4s B}d to 4s 9d at Port Adelaide, 4s 6d on the wharf at Port Pirie, and 4s 8d at the anchorage. Trade lots have changed hands to-day at 4s 6d at Fort Pirie, and craft-loads at 4s 9d at Fort Adelaide. Flour is quitted at £ll 5a for town and £lO 5s for country brands. We note the sailing of five cargoes of grain daring the month to the United Kingdom. Present engagements for the United Kingdom amount to about 30.000 tons. The transactions in general merchandise are of an utterly trade-supplying character, and merchants will not be induced to operate heavily.

ENGLISH. Messrs Miles Bros, and Co., of Loudon, report under date Deo. 20: — Wool. —The fourth and last series of public sales for the current year, which commenced on the 19th nit, terminated on the 17th instant. The available . Quantities were os follows: — New Old CataArrivals. Stock, loaned. Bales. Bales. Bales. New South Wales and Queensland... ... 25,612 10,800 35.390 Victoria 23.084 18,360 39.207 South Australia ' ... 14,015 1510 16,609 Western Australia ... 373 414: Tasmania 325 1140 1636 New Zealand 12,281 22.100 38.120 Cape of Good Hope... 42,198 7610 84,080 117.888 61,550 163,456 Of the new arrivals, 300 of Australian and 8300 of Cape were forwarded direct from ship to Yorkshire and the Continent. Although the attendance generally has been good, the results of these auctions have been anything but satisfactory. Opening at a decline of $d to Id per lb on greasy wools, and Id to lid on washed and scoured, prices gradually receded until about the commencement of the present month, when, owing to a fresh accession of foreign buyers, who were no doubt attracted by the low rates ruling, a slightly firmer feeling prevailed, and the market, though much depressed, presented a somewhat improved appearance at the close. The descriptions showing the greatest depreciation were Cape and Sydney fleeces, scoured Australian parcels, and the coarser kinds of crossbred wool, washed and scoured. In the course .of the sales, 1854 of Port Philip, 2624 of Adelaide, and 160 of Sydney of the new clip were brought forward, and the prices obtained compared favourably with those realised for old parcels. The wool was sound and well grown, although no improvement was perceptible in the condition. Of the total quantity sold, about 85,000 bales have been taken for export, and about 34,900 bales have been withdrawn and reserved for future sale, viz., 22,700 of Australian and New Zealand, and 12,200 Cape. The date has not yet been fixed for the next sales, but they will probably open about Feb. XI or 18, and the fresh arrivals now amount to 22,736, in. eluding 5006 New Zealand. Wheat and Floor. —A very limited business has been done in the wheat market during the past fortnight, for our millers do not appear inclined to make fresh purchases, so long os their stocks iu granary are sufficient for their immediate requirements. Continental buyers continue to purchase freely, the quantity taken for France and Belgium being about 15,000 qrs per week; but notwithstanding this demand, American wheat has declined in price, forward shipments from San Francisco to the United Kingdom being now quoted at 44s for 5001 b, while for cargoes of the new cron arrived here off the coast only 44s 6d is bid. Adelaide wheat is in short supply, and the demand isinactivo. Stocks of New Zealand wheat are declining, and there is a very limited business passing at 42a to 45a 6d per 4961 b iu granary, while Australian wheat is quoted at 60s to sls. Australian flour is now worth about 28s to 33s for 2301 b, and New Zealand 27s to 30s. Tallow and Hides.— The tallow market has been quiet but firm, and prices are about the same viz., 37s to 38s for good to fine New Zealand mutton and 35s to 35s 6d per cwt for fair to flno beef tallow. Present stock in first hands about 5700 casks. Hides have been in good demand at fully late rates. We quote best heavy ox 4Jd to 5Jd, light, 4d to4Jd; cows, 4d to 4Jd: and second-class, 3Jd to 4id per lb. Preserved Meat. —Business iu tinned meats is almost at a standstill, but the importations of fresh meat from America show an increase. During the past week 200 quarters of beef and 240 sheep were received here from New York, while at Liverpool 120 tons beef and. mutton, and 1499 quarters beef were landed from New York, 579 quarters beef and 402 dead sheep from Halifax, and 247 dead pigs from Boston. Bank rate, 5 per cent. LONDON WOOL SALES.
