Is Reeds, and the Improved estimates el the Australian
barrio% now gathered, have together kfieeneed
opinions so is to create inactivity in airiest all articles,
excepting mane and barley. Them Is els° a belief that
millers lave manufactured a hrge stock of floor, and
as they eau sell ft but slowly, they have become very
Minoan buyers. On the other hand, many holders of
wheat, ascribe the present deluges of trade to the one
hot of the mlll and fiers weather, and cionfitently
expect a brisk demand wh the season becomes
oold. The consumption of brsedatuffg daring frost la
nekened so much lamer than when the winter Is mild,

the markets are generally strong in tone with slightly
