The first cargo of the Mauritius .sugar is expected abont the end of next week, and as stocks are low we anticipate a good sale. The next shipment of new tessis also shortly expected, and will come to a good market. The inquiry for cornsacks, especially for the large size, ha 3 been very con siderable. The large size are no w out of stock. Woolpacks are being asked for, and present price is 3s 4d and 3s 6d, but as shipments are bat moderate we expect to see higher rate 3 Grass seeds are becoming scarce, especially cow grass and alsyke, and a further rise is ex pected. Money is etill abundant, credit is is sound, and trade generally is in a healthy condition. Landed Property—lt is very difficult to effecj sales at the price 3 asked, but properties in good situations at moderate values find buyers. We hare sold daring the week four sections in linwood for £200, anil one section also in Lin wood for £100. Mesbbs J. T. Ford and Co. report on the live stock market for the weekending Thursday, the 16th inst., as follows.-—The Adding ton Yards were crowded with fat aheep and fat cattle on Wednesday, and although very few sheep were turned out unsold at the end of the day, yet biddings were more languid than the previous week, and more difficulty was experi enced in obtaining the same va'ues. Mutton sold at from 2fd to 3d per lb.. and the quality all round was exceptionally good. The supply o? fat cattle was in excess of the demand, and con sequently vendors had to give way to effect sales. The same remarks also apply to store cattle, for too many are being rushed into the market, before graziers are ready for them, and although the weather is very fine,: yet it is not particularly grass growing, and people will not buy before their paddocks are ready to receive stock. We feel very confident, however, that aa the spring advances there will be a very good demand for all classes of stores, and a good many of our eurpltw cattle will find their way southwards and to the West Coast.
