Telegrams have been received from Queensland stating that the Melbourno milled flour sent there has been thoroughlj* tested and highly approved of. Sydney advices just received state that the iucoming Californian mail steamer brings 200 tons flour for ono of the colonies, but for which does not appear to be known yet. "Wheat is quiet, and we aro without sales to report; 7s 5d is required for any good samples to be met with. Oats are firm, and feeding are oaleablo at 3s Sd to 4s Id. Maize is moving off freely at 4s. Sugars attract little attention, and beyond ordinary routine sales, no business is allowed to transpire. Teas have not been marked by any further business. Kerosena oil is evidently firmer, and the market appears to have seen its lowest for tho present. A line of CO tons old Patna rico has been quit* ted at an improved figure. Hennessy's bulk brandy is better; we hear of a fair parcel having been sold at S3 7d, and in ono instance that price was refused.
