In the Bankruptcy Court yesterday Colonel
Waugh, of London and Eastern Bank notoriety,
passed his examination, and it was mentioned that
there will probably be no opposition when the bank-
rupt comes up for his certificate. It appears that
an arrangement has been come to between the assig-
nees and the managers of the London and Eastern
Bank. It is said that the amount of dividend to
be declared will probably be lees than Is. in the
pound.
The first series of colonial wool gales commenced

Good Rope—total, 4,066 bales. Messrs. R.. Dut-

foreign buyers, and the biddings are spirited.

Phillip wools, however, there is a reduction of about
id. to ld. per lb. About 73,000 bales have arrived
for these sales.
