Carvirr.—The business done has been unimportant, AUSTRALIAN Wollongong:—Has undergone no change, though holders are firm and will not think of parting at less than 7.25, the natives seem to be in no hurry to come up to that figure, nor do we think that it is likely they will, at Toast for some time, as the stock now here is ample for all requirements and with exceptionally small deliveries, they can well afford to hold on, True there is only a small cargo on the way and very little to come, but with all this they cannot be prevailed upon to come up to the price asked.
