BUTTER is rather, improving, and better rates are looked for.
BOOTS AND SHOE'S : The late sales of boots and shoes have
been of great magnitude, notwithstanding which they have
sold well, and former rates more than fully sustained.
CANDLES: The late light stock has boon increased, and
lower prices are the oonSeqUence.:
DRAPERY.: The demand for light drapery has been ex-
treraely brie < for the last few days, and large 'parcels have
changed hands; The trade generally is in a healthy state.
EARTHENWARE Coritiimi.s depressed.
GALVANISED IRON: Prices are improving for certain
numbers, but the heavier sorts are not saleable.
PITCH AND TAR are dull of sale, and lower.
SALT : As the salting season is nearly over, this article is
not quite so firm.
SOAP : :Liverpool soap is dull of sale, and an ample stock.
The more recent importations of English soap have been com-
plained of as inferior quality, and as'the colonial article is of
a very superior description, imported soap is entirely
neglec.ed.
SPIRITS: Brandy is easier, rum not quite so firm, gin
declining, and whiskey not so much enquired for.

VirrioL : There is very little coming to hand, which is
eagerly bought up, while the exchange continues at 2 per rent,
parties prefer remitting- in produce. The approaching clip is
expected to be heavy, but the absence of .rain lately in the
country districts, has created a difficulty in washing, and it is
expected a great many flicks will have to be shorn in grease.

. There is not much gold offering for sale this week,
which may be partly accounted for by the fact that many
diggers are migrating to new diggings, the produce of which
does not come down at present. Other diggers have been
wintering its Sydney, and are only just about-returning to old
favourite spots. One of a party, whose last trip to Louisa
Creek realised a thousand pounds per man, started again last
Tuesday. The Rocky River still excites considerable interest,'-
and i,s gold assays well, but loses weight considerably in
melting. . The great drawback in the Rocky River gold is it
extreme fineness, which renders the removal of the dirt with
which it is intimately `mixed almost impossible, without -gre4!
logs -of-the-precious metal. ,
