The Wool Market has been for the greater part
of the month rather quiet, and more especially
so in English Wools, consumers continuing to
purchase for immediate requirements only.
Politics at home, as well as on the continent,
having exercised a depressing influence, holders
had in may instances to make some concession in
price, but during the last eight or ten days a
better feeling has gained. ground, owing in a
great measure to the prospect of the Budget being
carried, and the more peaceful aspect of the
political affairs abroad, and English Wools have
since nearly recovered their former position,
strengthened by the not unfounded apprehension
'that the yield of our next clip, in consequence of
the protracted winter, may prove less than an
average one,—the more so, if we should have a
wet spring. The first series of Colonial Wool
sales in London will commence to-day, and last
until the 16th ; the quantity advertised is 26,100
bales, of which 11,6Q0 fife Cape's, bat several fresh
imports of the new clip are expected still to arrive
in time to be included in this series, which
then probably will not fall short of about 35,000
bales. East India : The arrivals from Bombay
since our last have been 4;174 bales, which are all
held over for the next public sales here, but the
few transactions during the month by dealers
have been at full prices. Peruvian : 3,961 ballots
have arrived this month, and met with ready sale
at late rates. Alpaca: The imports amount to 7,144
bales, the principal part of which had been sold to
arrive, and the few sales made during the month have
been at full rates. Mohair still continues in good
demand, and commands a ready sale, on arrival,
at market value. River Plate : No imports since
our last, and the market is now bare of stocks, the
transactions having consequently been but few,
but this description is much inquired for. Russia
Donskoi is still much sought after, but the prices
offered would leave such a heavy loss to importers
that very little business has been done. Oporto :
The arrivals have been 537 bags, but with the late
depression in English Wools there has been very
little doing. Egyptian continues in brisk demand,
and meets with ready sale on arrival. Iceland has
been more in reqUest, but the market offers very

indifferent choice. • Mogadore : Two vessels, with
about 300 bags, have just come in, but they are
not yet placed on the market; however, as we have
been so very long without stock of this description,
they will no doubt command attention. Scotch :
Laid Highland continues in -limited -,request,
without
.any variation in price. Cheviot of a
good class is still much wanted, but prices being
high, consumers only buy for immediate wants.
Irish has been more in demand, buts. as: holders
are asking higher rates than the trade are yet
inclined to pay, there has been hardly anything
doing. Sheepskins : The arrivals ' have been
disposed of at full market prices.

The following appeared in a portion of our
mpression of yesterday :

The funds have not varied from yesterday's closing
prices. The market was dull in character, owing to the
increasing complications of the Italian question, com-
bined with the renewed withdrawals of gold from the
Bank. The story of a Russo-Austrian alliance is autho-
ritatively contfadicted. Railway stocks continue to rise,
and are comparatively neglected. A fresh rise of 3 per
cent. took place in Great Northern A stock.—Daily
News.

The English funds have been quiet to-day, for the
confirmation of the report of a treaty between Russia
and Austria has slightly tended to promote stability; but
the resumption of daily withdrawals of gold, coupled
with a heavy appearance in the continental exchanges,
prevents any disposition to animation. No alteration in
the discount market. About £30,000 in gold was taken
from the Bank to-day for exportation, and an arrival of
£20,000 from Australia was also bought for the Con-
tinent.—Times.

The RAILWAY SHARE MARKET to-day was
inactive, though the current quotations show
steadiness generally. ' Great Westerns have been
negotiated at 691 s x div. ; London and North
Western, 981 971 x div.; and South Easterns,
894 1 ; Lombardo-Venetian, 111. The London
and North Western Traffic Returns amount to
£71,417, being an increase of £4,469. The
Grand Trunk Traffic .Returns amount £10,999
2s. 6d., being an increase of £3,360 19s. ld.
