Cirr A¥ohon Maet, Saturdfty. Mr. Edwin Binney reports as follows :— Tho jnarkels continue to Bhow great want of business, and there is no want of disposition to purchase in quantity ; there is certainly no lines of produce to offer with the exception of flour, which maintains last week's quotations. Buyers generally look for produce to be lower at this tiiß» of the year, as tk» harvest ap>proJtckes, but'tke continued stream of immigration has caused euqh a large incroaseJn consumption that we may really look for a firmar ton* in all descriptions of goods ; and furthermore, we may look for a greater scarcity thin ;f c even experieiicfe at present, for it is imposiible for the importer to pay the prices quoted down South, and sell at our quotations, say—Flour in, sacks, £1,4, lOQ4 and 50i, £14 10i to £15 ; pats, 5s 9d to 6s; barley, 5s 6d to 5s 9d ; oran. Is 9d to 2s ; pollard, £10; hams and bacon, in cloth, Is. cheeie, 8^ te 9d ; salt butter, none in the market; potatoes arc-in constant domand, and have moved off a fair parcel during the week at £10 10* to £11.
