Messrs Devilfc and Hett report as under:— " There has been littlo animation in the market since our last report. Stocks in first hands being small, importers have been firm, but aa dealers hold a considerable quantity (particularly of tho medium and common qualities) they have operated cautiously, being anxious to supply orders out of their own stocks. About 1,500 bales have been sold in tho market at steady prices. The following list comprises tho principal marks sold : Per Estrella, from Wellington, CHB diamond, £24 ; M, £26 10s. Per Lord Warden, from Sydney, JSM, £21 10s to £23 10s. Fer Firth of Clyde, from Port Underwood, HFM, £28 to £28 10s ; R, £26 ; BS, £28 10s. Per Electra, from Wellington, PHL, £16 and £20.

Stocks on June 2, 1,257 tons; imports since January 1, 1,404 tons; delivered, 1,324 tons ; but from what wo can learn privately tho deliveries havo been larger than stated iv the returns, and we quite hope to be able to report a smaller stock than is recorded.
