WOOL MARKETS.
Burman, Thirsdag.—The wool trade still remains
inactive. The transactions in wool are very restricted,
and confined to purchases to supply pressing wanta
Or
to assort stocks. The best deep grown ..".°ls are nidi
chiefly in demand, other sorts being quite naglected•
The recent quietness in the cotton market hu tended
to impart a more marked degree of languor to this
market. Notwithstanding the dullness prevailing,
boldly" of wool generally show great confident,e in the
Future, and maintain quotations vith remarkable firm,

conoetaion. Though prices are not quotably °hanged,
yet they show a alight tendency downwards, this being
more apparent in wools of the inferior class.

have progressed heavily. Very little animation has
been apparent in the biddinp for any descriptioss, at
the late decline. English wool has changed hand,
quietly, at about late ratea
