WOOL AND WORSTED.—TinanrORD, AUGUST 30.
During the past week somewhat improved feeling has been
manifested in the wool market. There bare been many in-
guinea and more wool has been sold. The spinners have
worked themselves out of stock and are compelled to buy
isiouttliMg. Down wools hate Leen zeroth sold at full
prices, and in bright sorts, which had been perfectly inani-
mate, there has been a little improvement. The fall of rain
last night and the fall of the barometer this morning have
completely damped the hopeful spirit which had begun to
prevail, and Unaware more lauguid to-day than they lone
been during the week. In Dolls and shorts the trade is
scarcely buoyant, but no change in value 3et occurred.
In wonted yarns the spinners are well employed,
and are delivering their contracts made two
months age. There are few new transactions
entered into ; buyers are acting cautiously, but do net suc-
ceed in getting any reduction m price. fa the home con-
sumption there is less doing, and this at present produces
no inconvenience. The market to-day is characterised by
almost total stagnation. Mannfacttuars, owing to the high
price of the raw nuderial, are unable to make any conces-
sion, and merchants, under these circumstances, abstain
from ponhasm; until they have got quit of their stocks.
Perhaps never in the mouth: of August have sales been so
limited The very peculiar character of the season has
brought the home trade nearly to a stand-still. The
American houses are doing little or notlung at present, and
the German onto 1 are to a close. No improve-
ment can he expected until we are better informed us to the
result of the harvest.

LVLONIAL WOOL SALM— The third series of sales
for the year commenced ea the 19th ult. and terminated
this day, oonsistukc::::s94 bales Sydney and Moreton
Bay, 26,153 tales art Phillip, 10,661 balm Van Diemen'a
Land, 6,198 bales 1,019 bales Swan River, 12,078
bales New Zeeland, 10,251 bales Cape of Good Hope, and
3,137 belts suudriir. Total, 91,861 bales. The attendance
of buyers has been good throughout the series, and prices
opened at May rates, which were fully maintained until
towards the close of the sales, when a reaction took place
and a decline of about Id. per lb. was observable, espe-
cially in the lower descriptions of wools, and these in lad
condition. Forcom buyers operated largely, their pur-
chases being confined principally to the better clam of wools
and those unweaned. Sydney wool was, on the average, in
good condition (although many flocks were burry) mud gold
heals ; many approved marks selling at high rater. Port
Phillip, in general, was well got up and found ready par-
chasms at May rates, although &decline in price was notice-
able towards the end of the wales. Van Dienien's Lunt
wee mostly heavy and Wady ; but the wools which were
carefully got up realised in some cams extreme rates.
South Australia, wady unleashed, was lower than in May.
New Zeeland was for the meat part very uneven and in
bad condition, although sonic few flocks were well got up
and sold at high prices. In this description the decline in
prim was the moat marked. It is to be regretted that
powers do not take greater care in packing their wool, as
buyers are now compelled to allow a great margin and use
greater caution in purchasing than would otherwise be the
case. Swan River wool remains at May pricer, only a small
quantity having oilseed. Cape wool baa bean in good de-
mand throughout the acrim, and miaa Lava advanced liL
to 2.1. on May lutes. Buenos Ayres, tolerably free from
burrs, sold well ; but the quantity offered was small.—

CORN. BIRVINORAM, Ammer 30. At Glouoester
market, on the 25th, wheat was Is. to 2a. per qr. dearer.
At Worcester, the same day, a similar advance was reluc-
tantly compli,d with. Barley la. per qr. higher. Osts hold
for Ga. to la per. qr. mere. Peas unaltered. Beans tending
upwards. During the present week, the weather having
been finer. the previous currency has been with difficulty
obtained for wheat of any demerit:loga. Barley and oats,
both rather higher. Beans and peas. fully as dear. At
Wolverhampton vestenlay a further rise of I*. to 2s. per
qr. was demanded for wheat, but progress could nut be
made in sales thereat. At this day's market there was a fair
supply of wheat, and white sold slowly at an advance of Is.
to's. per qr., but this improvement did not extend to red.
Barley lid. tols. per qr. dearer. Oats le. higher. Beans
ann. Pea* lees in request.
Atourcr 30.—There was a very good supply of
wheat for the tune of year ; the large advance in price asked
checked business and caused a very heavy trade, but even-
toirlly a peevy fair amount was done at from 2s. to 3a. a
quarter above the pri,m of last week, a good deal remaining
unsold. One lot of white wheat reached 365. a sack.
The bakers raised the price of bread Id., the Alb. loaf
being now le. 3d. Wheat, beat, 61s. to 705.;
54.. to 62.,.; inferior, 4th. to Me. Barley, 345. to 445.
Oats, Zia to :Us. Berns, 46a. to :As. Paw, 42.. to 46a.
Floor, tine, 51s. to his. per sack ; seconds. 465. to 495.
Worcitrzrrsa, AUGUe7 :A —The weather during the
' week, although still unsettled, he. been on the whole
of a rather more favourable character, cud the trade
ha consequence less active. Still sellers have stumealed
iu
establishing a furti.er advance in the value of flour, other
articles remaining without material change. Of whelt from
abroad the imports into Liverpool are again liberal, and of
Indian corn fair ; but of beans and floor the arrivals are
smaller than of late. From Ireland the receipts of oats are
tolerably extensive for the period of the year, while those of
other produce appear to have almost ceased for this season.
1 Our market this morning was moderately attended. Of

lihiglish wheat scarcely a sample was offering, the vJla
being much too high in the agricultural districts to brit%
here with advantage. Prime foreign white brought ltd. t..
4d. per 70th.. advance, but in red there was no change, cud
the demand was quiet. Choice fresh English flour, bus,,
very scarce, must be quoted 2i. to 3s. per sack higher, alai
foreign L. to 2s. ; with, however, very little doing on the
spot. Several cargoes of French were sold at very full
prices. Oats were iumin Id. per 451bs. dearer, and manic I
Is. to 2s. per load. Beans, both English aid foreigh,
brought Gd. to ls. per quarter more money. Indian cur.,
was firm.

NEWARK, AUGUST 29.—There was a moderate supply ..f
wheat at our market today ; the millers and factors wer-
reluctant to follow the advance of Mark-lane, and the sal,
was dull at ls. to 2s. per quarter over last week's rates.
Grinding barley sad oats were rather higher. Beans w...-
fully la per quarter dearer. Wheat, white, We. to 725. ;
red, 645. to Mc par 36 stone ; barley, malting, Ms. to
42a. ; grinding, 31.5. to 335. per 30 stone ; eats, old, 325.

Wargssortn, AuoueT V.—The weather has been ves-
unfavourable for harvest work since Saturday, and tlul.•

quence. Wheat commands an advance of Is. per barn!,
and Indian corn 6d. to 9d., with a fair amount of busiesA
passing. Barley and oats held for more money, but the],
us not much doing in either. Flour Is. per sack dearer.
