WOOLS.—Ltvimiroot, Dnc. I.—Since our last monthly
report the wool market bas promoted no new feature worthy
of comment, the attention of the trade ham bees chiefly oc-
cupied with the public sales of colonial wools now peopled-
ing In Landon, and toe transactions have bean limited to the
acute' requirements of the trade without any material alter-
ation in prices., but the more pacific tone of political matters
on the Continent ruling during the last few days has tended
to create a firmer tooe to the market generally. Best India

has of lea made in the Black Sea will leave a heavy lure ;
