(From T. 4. H. Littledale 4. Co.'s Monthly Circular.)
9, MINCING-LANE, LONDON, Oct. 9, 1860.—
We have again to note an uninterruptedly quiet
market during the past month. The large public
auctions which commenced on the 19th ultimo,
established a decline of ld per lb. on most kinds,
while in some instances lid to 2d was submitted
to. The principal feature of the month has been
the arrival of the Falcon, from Foo-Chow-Foo,
partly laden with new season's Kaisows ; this
caused a little more activity in the market, but
still the trade acted with great caution, evincing
no desire to overstock themselves ; the quantity
sold was less, and the prices given lower (say
is 9d to 2s 3d) than for many years past. In
comparing these Teas with those of last year's
import, they are decidedly inferior both in leaf
and liquor. Black : The demand for common
Congou has been limited, and quotations for the
present must be considered almost nominal. Red
leaf and flavoury kinds suffered a decline of id
per lb. at the late sales, but even this has caused
little inclination on the part of buyers to operate.
Black leaf Congou, though still maintaining a
firmer position than most other descriptions, has
given way from id to ld per lb. A fair business
has been done in Monings and Oopacks, though
at a reduction of ld. At the auctions of the 19th
ultimo, a large quantity of medium to fine Kaisow
was offered without reserve, and prices were
decidedly much easier than the earlier part of the
month, since the sales, however there has been
rather more enquiry. Tayshans are again lower,
say ld to lid per lb. Oolongs, although offered
at a reduction of lid to 2d per lb., are difficult
to move. During the earlier portiOn of the month
the market was over supplied with scented Teas,
which caused a fall of 2d per lb. in orange
Pekoes, but previous rates were maintained for
Capers, even a shade advance being paid in some
cases,, Greens : The quantity of most kinds on
offer during the month has been small, and that
sold has brought, full to advancing rates. The
impresSion seems to be gradually gaining ground
that the supply will be short—recent advices from
China fully bearing this out. There have been
two public sales since our last, at Tit hich 31,000
packages were offered, 20,600 being sold, of which
20,400 were without reserve. •We estimate the
stock in the United Kingdom at 62,600,000 lbs.
against 55,516,000 in 1859, and 76,093,000 in
1858—quantity afloat 21,554,000 lbs. against
16,031,000 in 1859, and 11,029,000 in 1858.
LIVERPOOL, October 9, 1860.—The past month
like its predecessor has been one of the greatest
inactivity ; the smallness of our stocks, with the
indisposition of the town and country dealers to
buy, added to a growing want of confidence in
the article, has caused transactions to be on the
most limited scale. Blacks : Common Congous
have been sparingly dealt in, and prices are ld
lower—the same will apply to the few sales made
in flavoury and blackish leaf kinds up to is Bd,
whilst the fine to finest Monings, Oopacks and
Kaisows have been neglected, and quotations are
reduced ld to Lid per lb. No business to report
in Oolongs and Souchongs. Scented Capers have
maintained previous rates, and scented orange
Pekoes have declined lid to 2d per lb. Greens:
The stock in first hands being almost cleared, the
dealers have had to supply themselves from the
London market, at full to advanced prices.

(From Messrs. T. and H. Littledale and Co.'s Circular.)
The past month has been characterised by a
depressed trade, both for exportation and home
consumption, though the deliveries of China
Silks has been 5,000 bales. This has merely
arisen from the exhausted stocks of manufac-
turers and throwsters, who are still only partially
employed, there being no improvement either in
demand or remunerative price. China Silk is
now nearly the only description used, and stocks
being extremely light, importers have obtained
previous rates, in most instances. In Bengal
prices are from Gd to Is por lb lower, with but
very little demand. We have no new feature to
report in Italian, Persian and Brussa, and hardly
any stocks on hand. East India and China Silk
Piece Goods : Sales of Corahs have been effected
during the past month to a fair extent at firm
rates ; but the piece goods market generally
continues quiet, with small deliveries. Gum
Waste Silk, and Knubbs and Husks: The recent
imports have been mostly of inferior qualities,
which are difficult of sale, particularly East
India Chassum, and stocks are now large, this

article being only partially used. The high price
ruling both jpr home-made and foreign Waste
during the last ten months has caused many
spinners to let their machinery stand, rather than
produce yarns which have been so unsatisfactory
in their results, and the consumption of the raw
material has consequently greatly diminished.

(From r 4. H. Littledale 4. Co.'s Monthly Circular.)
The attitude of uncertainty and weakness
which the English Wool market has presented
ever since clip-day, has at length been overcome;
the ordeal has been severe—bad harvest weather,
extremely high prices and the sudden illfiUX of a
whole year's growth !—these, indeed, had proved
sufficiently powerful to arrest its course, and even
.to reverse its onward tendency--:but with, a
slight turn of favourable circumstances, it has at
once resumed its wonted position—the advance
of the past few weeks having brought up prices
almost, if not altogether, to the highest point.
The Liverpool public Wool sales commenced on
the 19th, and closed on the 29th ult.—no less
than 18,699 bales East India Wool were brought
forward on this occasion, being nearly 50 per
cent. more than the average sales of the past
three years ; and yet, with trifling exceptions,
the whole found buyers. Stocks in consumers'
hands having been reduced to the lowest working
point, the competition at the early sales was
brisk beyond expectation; the lower qualities of
grey Wools (which are in great request for
Government orders now in hand) opening at an
advance of id to Id. per 11N, and other qualities
fairly averaging the rates of the previous series,
.which contained but 10,457 bales ; as soon how-
ever, as immediate necessities had been supplied,
prices began to relax, except for Carding and
true-bred Wools, which, proving to be relatively
scarce, rather hardened as the sales progressed ; we
1,23
quote as the final average result of these sales, an
advance of id per lb. on Carding Wools, best and
second. Whites and Yellows, and low, middle, and
fair Greys ; on medium Whites and best Greys no
change ; on other qualities id to ld per lb. decline.
The quantity of miscellaneous Wools was also
very great, amounting to 11,968 bales, and i
making a total of 30,674 bales; 'but as most of
these descriptions come forward irregularly, the
upply not to be depended upon, they have not
earned for themselves any special adaptation in
our manufactures, being chiefly used as substitutes
and therefore rarely exciting a sufficient compe-
tition at' auction to drive then up to their full
value ; and in this instance, as usual, the great
bulk of them was withdrawn. One kind, how-
ever, shown for the first time at our public sales,
merits a few remarks ; this was a parcel of 270
bags fleece Wool from Canada, which sold at
16d to 184 d per lb. Of all Wools hitherto
imported, this resembles our English long stapled
varieties most closely—in fact, it is English Wool
grown abroad, and as the prices show, vastly
superior to that produced in some of our English
Counties. Many of these fleeces possess a lustre
equal to Yorkshire and Lincolnshire Wools (the
growth of these should be especially fostered, and
in packing, they should be kept distinct from the,
dull and lack-lustrous fleeces, as being ,more
valuable) which have for many years held the
highest reputation in our worsted manufactures,
and consequently sold at the highest prices :
should further experience demonstrate the apti-
tude of the soil and climate of Canada to grow
such Wools without degeneracy, we venture to
predict a steadily increasing importation, knowing
that they will always arrive at an 'excellent
market,.the augmentation of this particular class
'of Wool being at present the greatest deside-
ratum of our English worsted stuff trade.

The Freight Market is still inanimate, but there
is a good demand for tonnage for India and China,
consequently a fair probability of rates improving
shortly. Grain Freights are firmer; on the
round to Xew York 103 per qr. has been paid,
and Is 6d per qr. home only is freely offered.
Homeward chartering from the East is dull ; the
only operations have been from the rice ports at
62s 6d to 65s to U.K. and 67s 6d to 70s to the
Continent, and 50s from Bombay to Liverpool or
London is obtainable ; other quotations are about
nominal. Rates to U.S. ports are very firm at
our quotations.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

In the LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE to-day
the Funds exhibited increased heaviness, owing
to an active demand for money, combined with
the withdrawal of gold from the Bank. The
British Railway Share Market was likewise rather
easier, but the alteration of prices was not of much
importance.
The market closed at the following prices :--

The • following appeared in our later editions
of yesterday :
The funds opened this morning with a quiet appear-
ance, but were prejudiced in the attcrnoon by the
increased demand for money, combined with rumours
of a large withdrawal of gold from the Bank. Consols
accordingly closed nearly 14, per cent. lower than yester-
day. The market for British railway Atock was buoyant
in the morning, particularly as regards Midland, but
prices closed in most cases slightly lower than yesterday.
The demand for money in commercial channels, though
not pressing, was steady, and 32, to 4 per cent. was
required for discount of good bills. A fair amount of
business was done at the Bank.—Daily News City

The English funds, after having opened steadily,
experienced a sudden decline of per cent., and closed

The entire success which has attended the opening of F. W.
PrOmoli's New Establishment, has induced him to spare no
exertion or cost to meet the tastes and regeirements of his
many liberal friends and supporters, and therefore every
novelty of the seasons is added to his usually very choice
stack. The economical plan on which his establishment is
conducted, and the advantage he derives from

together with his long experience in business and connection
with Liverpool, will, he trusts, be a sure guarantee that a
very moderate profit will be charged on all his goods.
A Manufactory for Jewellery, &c., is attached to the
Establishment, thereby ensuring Punctuality and Economy is
