Commercial.
The Star Office, This Day. Business continues dull, and the arrival of two cargoes by the Hydaspes and Blue Jacket will overstock the market with most articles. Next to nothing is doing in the grain market. We hear of a quantity of really good wheat offering at 6s, but without finding a purchaser. Oats are worth 2s 3d ; barley has been in good request for seed. The quantity remaining in the hands of brewers is by no means large, and we may look for an* advance in price. Several large crops of barley are in a very forward state, aud are expected to be fit to cut by the middle of January.
The Customs revenue collected at Christchurch to-day amounted to £115 17s 7d. The following were the items : — Sugar, 1 1 ,2001b5, £46 13s 4d ; tea, 21081bs, £52 14s ; tin-foil paper, 1 package, 2s ; spirits, 17 gallons, £10 Gs 3d ; wive, 26 gallons, £5 4s ; arms fees, S3.
