WOOL MARKET.-THIS DAY.

The Colonia. Wool sales tat the Hall of Commerce pro-
gresses steadily. The attendance of buyers is not large, but
the bidding' cre spirited. There have been sold up to the
present date about 20,000 hales, and the sales will continue
until the 15th instant, each night offering from 2,000 to
2,300 bales. Very little is doing in German Wool, and this
market is flat. The imports of the week are under 100
bales, chiefly from Germany.

METALS. Mr. :quote's circular states that
Welsh bar iron has assumed a duller appearance this week;
in rails not any transactions are reported.—Staffordshire
iron is more inquired fur, and a considerable quantity has
been purchased for shipment to the east; the local demand
continues good.—Scotch pig iron : The demand has im-
proved, and a large business has been done, both for imme-
diate and forward delivery. No. 1, American brands, may
be quoted at 40i., free on board at Glasgow, storekeepers'
warrants. No. 1, ordinary brands, storekeepers' warrants,
free on board, at 38s. 9d. Mixed numbers, makers' obliga-
tions, free on hoard, 38s. 611.; and No. 3, 38s.—Swedish
iron : There is nothing to report this week.—Swedish steel
is still without inquiry.—Copper continues in good demand.
—British tin: A fair export trade doing.—Foreign tin :
There are buyers of Banca at 781., sellers at 791.—Spelter
Not a transaction has taken place here, about 700 tons hero
changed hands at liamburg at advanced rates.—Lead is
dull of sale.—Tin plates arc in fair request.

mingham Banks were done at 281, and Old Gas shares at
150.

BRISTOL, OCT. 3,.—The business was merely nominal,
and the market on the whole very heavy. Midland cock
was done at 481 ; •Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth, at 91.
LEzus, Ocr. U.—There has been very little done on

those of yesterday. Closing sales:—East Lancashire., 14;
Great Northerns, 151; North Westerns, 14i di..; Leeds
Northern., 111. tis. 9d.

Consols closed yesterday afternoon at 97 to 1,
for money and the account of the 12th November,
being an improvement of on the price of the morn-
ing. The day's business figures were as follows:—
Three per Cent. Consols, 97:;:, 10 ' I, ; ditto for
Account, 97a; Three ner Cent. Reduced, 97, 961„ 97.
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 97, 98, 984.
Long Annuities, 1860, 6 15-16, 7 ; ditto, 30 years,
1859, 6 11-16; ditto, 1860, 7 3-16. India Stock,

26:1i 264.
Eitchequer Bills left off 535. to Ms. prem., and
India Bonds marked 60s. and as.. prem.
The foreign stock market closed without change,
beyond an improvement in Venezuela 'rwo-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. for Account, 311, 35' ; ditto De-
ferred, 12. _

The Swedish land loan brought out in this market
by Mr. Scheer, has been fully subscribed, bilt there
will be a delay in-the issue of the bonds for a strange
reason, illustrative of the operation of government
mane gement, namely, that"t lie Swedish ltoN al Govern-
ment Paper Manufactory cannot make and deliver the
paper in time, ancgthat the bonds will be hardly ready
by the Ist December." Of course no blame can
attach to the agents at Ilaiuburgh or here for this
delay.
Notice has been this day issued of the purchase
and cancelment of 101 special bonds of the Danish
Three per Cent. 1 oan of 1825, amounting to
49,630 L, being the 53rd half-yearly purchase.
The leading feature in the market for Foreign ex-
changes to day was a somewhat lower quotation for
l'aris and Amsterdam, whilst for other places no im-
portant change occurred. Bills on London being
plentiful a.. Pans, and the discount on first-class pa-
per hardly reaching 2 per cent., tend to depress the
quotation here. Short Paris was done at 25.221 to
271 ; do, 3 months, 25.37, to 421. Amsterdam
was in great demand, and 'first class paper was
eagerly taken at 11.191 for short, money being offered
at 11.18. 'Hamburg, although coming higher from
the other side, maintained last post's rate of 13.181
to 2. Frankfort was a little higher, closing 120! to
1. Bills on Italy, Sicily, Spain, and l'ortugal, were
as dull as before ; the transactions effected were on a
limited scale, and invariably in favor of buyers.
Naples, however, was again in demand at 40 Lisbon
and Oporto were as low as :521: the reason of this
favorab:e quotnion for this country is a scarcity of
bills on London at the other side, owing to the limited
amount exported to England, and to an absence of
drafts on London front Brazil, which usually are
abundant at this time of the year. St. Petersburg
was in demand at but no paper offered. Vienna
and Trieste, on the other hand, were almast unsaleable,
the fanner being done at 12.36 to 40, and the latter
at 12.38 to 42.
The rates negotiated are as follows :
