a tightened money market at home; and the increased glootuY

to hold back shipments. Our quotitions nominally are:
Melbourne, to Railway Pier, fine goods, 40s ; earthenware'
35s to 37s 6d per ton measurement ; weight, 35s to 40s Per
ton. To Sydney we have only one vessel loading; rates
asked are : —Fine goods, 45s ; earthenware, hardware, Ice.'
40s per ton measurement ; weight, 40s per ton. To Adelaide/
40s per ton measurement for fine goods, 35s per ton far
weight.
