Australian orders. There bane been a few buyers for the Haven.

Wait AND WORSTED.—DLATFORD, MAT Li.— The wool
market has been unusually 'quiet today, and the quantity of
wool changing hands has been extremely small. 1; arlous dr-
catustances tend to induce spinnue to hold off for the present.
Borne public wool sales in this mat ket, the colonial eales of nearly
200,000 bales opening iu London this evening, and the prospect
of an unusually heavy clip of English wool, all have the effect of
causing almost a suspension of operations on the part of con-
sumers. The consequence is that all dames of wool may today
he obtained at a fraction below the prices current last week, and
this is very preeeptibly the case In respect of middle and in-
tenor wools. The other departments of the wool trade
have • corresponding quietness. Little new business has been
done in either worsted yarns or pieces In worsted yarns the
demand, restricted as it is, still runs chiefly in two-folds.
Spinners are generally well employed, and prices are rouse-
queutly well maintained. The same limited banners charac-
terises the piece trade. Some slight business is doing in fancy
goods. The home, continental. and American .merchants
operate very sparingly. liamshieturers are well employed, and
as a rule priecu are pretty well maintained. Messrs. Louis and
Son have held a large sale of English and foreign wool this after-
noon, and considering the quality of the wool, the prices
realised were fullyequal, if not higher than the prices current
in the market.

CORN..—BlitnlxOnAki, 11 Aile.—At this day's market there
was again a short supply of English wheat, but to effect sales
• decline of It to fa. per qr. had to be submitted to. Barley
scarce, and fully udear. Baum higher. Peas without laquby.
Bairrox, MAY It —Our suppUft of wheat and oats are large;
of other articles light. Ou our market today English wheat was
In very short supply, and realised about last week's prices.
Foreign In limited request, at Is. per qr. redsotion. Grinding
and di. tilling barleys firm at fully as much money. There was
a tsir consumptive demand for oats at last week's rates. Mahe
without alteration.
BERT ST. EMIENDI, MAT 14.—We Ted a good show of wheat
offered here by powers this day, the amply being rather in ad-
vance of the demand. The trade must be quoted dull, at late
rates. AU other kinds of pain unaltered in value Averages :
Wheat, 1c Bs4a yra, 73e. tit ; barley. 121 qrs., 4M fad. ; oats, 421

DEctxxs, MAT 14.—Our wheat market has spin exhibited a
drooping tendency, and with a good supply, we have to note a
dell trade at a reduction of Is. per qr. on last week's pekes ; in
fact, there appears at present peat indispodtion to make par-
chime accept to meet Immediate wants : and a lrge portion was
oonammenUy left on hand at the close of the market. In other
articles we have no alteration to note, except In oats, which bays
reached the very higbprice of rft. Best whlto'wheat IT,. to 28a. ;
