New Zealand Mail Office, Thursday Evening.
Business continues very quiet. For many weeks there h*ve been few transactions of any great extent, retailers contenting themselves with making their purchases in. small quantities, and refraining from laying in large stocks. The only English vessel arriving during the week has been the New. Zealand Shipping Co’s s.s. Aorangi. She arrived first at Port Chalmers, and having called at Wellington to land passengers and. mails, proceeded to Auckland. She has since returned to Wellington to discharge her cargo for this port. There are no changes of value in articles of commerce. There is an ordinary demand for wine, beer, and spirits, but no particular activity. Tne sugar market remains as it was.
