AUSTRALIAN COMMERCIAL NOTES. Hrejs Association.— IClectric Teleitrapli.—Uopyriglit. Sydney, March 15. Small catalogues and very strong competition were the features of the fortnightly wool sales, considerable quantities being sold privately, and several lines withdrawn owing to the expectancy of highor prices. The bulk offering at the sales is medium inferior qualities. As compared with a fortnight ago the values, especially lor scoureds, showed a further slight advance, and full parity with the London advances arc readily torthcoming here. Exports of wool for the eight months ended February show a decrease of 114,700 hales compared with the same period of last year.

So far March has proved a dull month for the import market, but the week closes with a little more life, Export orders continue numerous, New Zealand taking a good deal of business. Breadstuff* are quiet. Local milling wheat nominal. 4s sd. New Zealand, unsettled quoted at 3s 101 to 4s ; offering more freely, but buyers are holding off some" what in the expectation of lower prices when the larger shipments arrive. The recent rains greatly improved the crop outlook and with increased stocks feed produce lines are easier Maize, large supplies declinod 3d. Butter is weak, and other dairy lines steady. Potatoes: Stocks lower fitm. New Zealand onions, good demand £7 to £7 ss. '

During the week a creditors' meeting was held in the estate of Rogers and Co., merchants, of Goulbourn, in which Sydney houses are largely interested. It is estimated there will be a surplus of £13,700. Melbouiwh, March 15. Breadstuffs: Quiet, but very firm. Sales of wheat up to 5s Id in town, and equal to from Id to 2d more in the country. The official returns are expected in a few days, and the Age predicts that should they, as generally expected, "unsatisfactory next week will see ail advance to 5s 3d. Oats cased somewhat, and there is a little

more inquiry. Sales of New Zealand oats liuve taken place at Is lid, Barley, maize, and peas are weaker. The import market is normal and steady. Tho Melbourno Co-operative Jam and Canning factory, tho first attempt of tho kind, has been started at Mtldura settlement for the purpose of dealing with fruit. The initial cost will bo met by a general levy on the settlers. Numbers of large orders have been secured.
