Commercial.
Nelson, May 19. The flour market during tho past mouth has been unusually depressed, all the markets on the Coast being heavily glutted with importations from the neighboring Colonies and from Canterbury. The stocks in Nelson are also large, and sales dull. The price is nominally .£l6, but that is higher than can bo obtained on the West Coast. Tho market is tolerably well supplied with imports except sugars, which are exceedingly scarce, but Messrs. N. Edwards and Co. have received advices that the Norwegian brig Suorra with a cargo of Mauritius sugar, was to leave Port Louis on the 15th of March, so that her arrival here may bo looked for daily. The southern markdts are also ill supplied with sugar, and a shipment of sixty-five tons was made to Dunedin on Monday, in the Alhambra. — Examiner. Wheat, ss. to 6s. Gd. ; barley, ss. Gd. to 6s. ; oa's, 3s. Gd. to 3s. 9d. Potatoes, £4 1 Os. to £5 Os. 6d.; May, £5.
