Business still continues without any great animation. Brandies and whiskies are enquired for, hut buyers are as yet unwilling to concede thy advance p.nked by holders. Medium and low congous in half-chests are in good demand, with scarcely nny in stock. In the flour market but little has been done through the day ; prices are in some measure less firm. In noticing the sale of the cargo of Chilian flour ex Wheatland yesterday, a price was slated at or about which it was believed it had been placed. We have now the authority of the parties to _the transaction for saying that the actual rate was considerably in advance of the sum named.
Messrs M'Landresa, Hepburn and Co, held a large sale of imported furniture at the Universal Bond, obtaining a fair margin upon invoice cost for most goods.
