WooL.—There is still a good demand for low and
middle quality wools of most descriptions, and our
stocks of- both Levant and Mediterranean sorts con-
tinue unusually limited, with little prospect of any
great augmentation for some time to come. Of
Egyptian, Turkey, and Syrian wools the market is
quite bare, Smyrna is light in stock ; and of Donskoi,
also the supply is very limited, and held at extreme
quotations ; these descriptions are all in very current
demand, and the late improvement fully maintained.
The imports for the week consist of 1,189 bales Peru-
vian, 443 bales East Indian, 325 bales Mediterranean,
55 bales Monte Video, 377 bales Scotch, 9 bales Irish,
18 bales Coastwise. Total, 2416 bales.
Messrs. JOSEPH ROBINSON and Co. say :
Our last circular showed a continued active demand for all
descriptions of wool, suitable for immediate use, and the in-
quiry has been fully sustained throughout the month just

har,; caused the business to be much less than it otherwise
would Lq.ve been, the warehouses here not having presented
such an en;i7tY appearance for years, therefore, should a good
supply come torYvard, a long period must ensue before a
moderate stock coml.! be had, taking into consideration the
present consumption ph: export demand. Accounts from
abroad, with the exception M
a few places, lead to the con-
clusion that the receipts into this coiLntrY will be very limited
of low
,and medium wools. The long wi;01 trade, which has
for some tim4 been very buoyant, was this week and last
rather quieter in Yorkshire ; there seemed no specific traceable
