COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
Oamabt/ Times Office, Monday Evening. Commercially, there is no change to report. Wool continues to arrive in small quantities. We have had an opportunity of inspecting a fine sample of wool scoured by Messrs Wheatley & Co., Kakanui Works, which is remarkable for purity, softness, and elasticity; a better sample could not be desired. We have also seen a sample of wool washed at Otekaike Station (Mr Reeee's), by Alve's patent battery proceaa. "We believe that the process is open to improvement, but the sample shown is certainly well got up. Oats remain, for prime sample, at 2s 6d per bushel. Fiom the Waitaki Plain we hear the wheat crop is not looking so well as could be wished, and thaL the oat crop promise*) to be defective. Fiom the Southern districts we have more satisfactory reports. A larger breadth of barley has been sown during the past season than during previous years, and generally this grain is reported to be looking well. At Mr Shrimski's sale of furniture, &c, the property of Mr Steaveuson, on Saturday, the furniture realised moderate prices. A fieehold quarter-acre section, with stables thereon, sold for L71.
