Commercial Intelligence. SYDNEY MARKETS.

Tho Sydney Town and Country Journal of June 3rd reports as follows : — WHZAT. This market is fairly supplied, and millers are not anxious to buy m face of the California^ wheat advised to arrive ex City of Sydney, now hourly expected, and sailing ships. A portion of tho last shipment is still m first hands, having been offered at auction several weeks successively without finding purchasers. Although the grain looks, well m some packages, yet we are under the impression that the millers think their stocks qnito large enough at present. Quotations — Adelaide wheat, 6s 5d to 6s 6d; New South Wales, 6s to 6s 6d ; Victorian, 6s ; Launceston, 5s 6d ; New Zealand, 5a to 5s 6d per bushel. Messrs Mort and Co. brought forward a catalogno of 3139 bags of wheat on Thursday, consisting chiefly of parcels from California and New Zealand. The whole of tho California^ was. cleared at 6s 3d per bushel. Now South Wales parcels sold at up to 6s 9d por bushel ; pollardi realised Is GJd per bushel. At auction sale on Thursday 1500 bags of feed and milling oats wero disposed of at from 3s Hid to 4s Id ; black oats realised 5s Id per bushel. K.OUB.
