The day's business has been rather quieter than that of yesterday, but still not dull, a good deal of inquiry being made for particular goods, chiefly for shipment. Not very much has been done in the flour market, transactions being limited to town trade parcels; tho rates are, however, firmly maintained. Provisions of all kinds are readily saleable, but the quantities coming forward at the present moment are light. In bottled ales and beers, though overburthened with stock, holders will not give way to a sufficient extent to allow of any speculative operations}
The reported arrival of the mail at the Bluff caused a oucpension of any important matters during tie last part of business hours. The auction sales have bcvti of no'special interest.
