BY the foregoing prices will be that many arti
ces OF American produce selling at prices that
would give fair margin to the shipper the goods
just now landed The great drawback is the
storage charges goods imported in May June and July
when there was no outlet for them and when they
rived in such quantities that holders were compelled
to rate of storage that colonial would
shippers should time shipments TO meet the demands Of
the The rainy begins here in April and
goods wanted for the mines during the wet months from
April to October should arrive between LIST Of September
and LIST Of April and those wanted for city consumption
may arrive Later The wet weather this year continued
longer than we anticipated, told September
would certainly end IL; but 1t continued about through
October thus deferng trade greatly beyond expeca
tons.
Much to surprise breadstus and provisions gener
ally have not paraken of the animation which dry wealth
er and good roads have given many other articles in
marEet. south Australia has sent us more -four than
We had calculated and continues to feed this market
to considerable extent yet Emgration, though large,
has been considerably estimated and we begin to
think that the estimates Of Hers and others 40 to the
consumption OF wheat for each nhabtant, and on which
we based our calculations, we're much TOO hrge, even
after the great allowance made ms mentioned In
issue Of Cd August We yet have strong confidence that
the demand for the mines win relieve the market
and that prices will rally. We convinced that most
kinds of American manufactured hardware and cutlery
especially such wanted for mining purposes-will
have the preference all others American axes,
picks and shovels have already displaced the English
AL goods should be shipped in packages suitable for
conveying to the mines over bad roads and in carts For
this reason moasses in hhds very unmanageabe and
utterly unsaeable To purchase small casks and draw it
OF here would cost more than il is worth. The same
about 100 pounds each with outer cask dlled with
salt and pickle keeps the best and the most saleabe
Invoices should be very particular in specification and
description Those Of lumber should always specify the
number Of pieces, and should always have shipping
mark each piece Invoices II buildings should always
be accompanied with specification, pan and elevation
With these the seller and buyer both work understand
ingly and large price is obtained, and room "a left
for dispute afterward
Our correspondents must excuse us IL we again call
their attention to the evil Of invoicing goods the
tua cost and charges No possible good can arise from
II, but much evil We have frequently refused 70 sell
goods at prices fairly remunerstiye supposng at the
time they would have given heavy loss We have
invoices Of the same description of goods from the same
and to the consgncc being 100 cent
the other and the lowest 80 per cent the actual
cost.
Our American friends viii bear mind that this s an
English colony and that large quantity OF provisions
have been, and will continue to be received from the
mother country and from Europe and for this reaeon We
cannot take much the United states as California
takes in proportion to population We believe, however,
that American provisions carefully cured and packed,
will gradual rain favor and into general
In Conclusion we would remark that fully per-
suoJed that glowing accounts Of markets sent
fro m here between december and May, such facts
would not warrant greatly dcccivng the public and
We would now repeat what have before intmatsd,
that with market distaat from ts supplies,
should not be governed much BY quotations
Of prices by statistics showing the wants Of the peo
pe and by the amount Of goods shipped just previous to
their contemplated operations
