SYDNEY MARKETS.

The New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company, Limited, report of the Sydney markets under date September 23rd aa follows : — WHBAT. New Zealand chiokwheat keeps m abnndant supply, and prices show no improvement on late rates of 2s 6d to 2s Bd. BARLEY, Remains without alteration since our last. OATS. In consequence of wet weather and the "fall" m maize, this market is not quite so firm, though values have not suffered to any appreciable extent. Possibly a reaction may act m shortly, but present indications scarcely favor the anticipation. Quotations are up to 2s 6d for bright stout heavy feed, discolored samples 2s to 2s 2d. BEAN Bemains very firm at Is 2d to Is 2J<3, at which price late consignments have all been placed. POTATOES. As the season is now drawing to a close, buyers do not care to speculate, and m the face of large supplies stul to come from New Zealand, the opinion is that values must greatly decline. We have been enabled to place our consignments per Hauroto at £4 5s and £i 7s 6d, though at the moment sales cannot be made to arrive c.i.f. at over £3 12s 6d. FLOUB. Business m this line remains very dull, and ■ales of any magnitude cannot be made except at concessions upon late rates. NEW ZEALAND MEATS. As the summer season is now approaching we look for increased business. The demand, however, will probably be for the best descriptions of 21b tins. Tierced beef is very dull.
