0. per lb. fur light Buenos Ayres. The chief holders still
entertain their mews for higher pins. Australian : The
aides were but small. This may be amounted for by the
absence of arrivals. The bulk of the imports have been within
the last eight or ten days, sod are now in CORM of landing
mad sorting. Prices were steady for heavy, but seine, light
were sold at ;,d. per lb. decline. Yesterday a vtry prime
parcel of Sydney realised 61d. for first heavy. and 44d. per
lb. for first light. Cape k e arrivals were but small, for
which the competition was great, and high prices were paid.
Salted Hone Hides—Swe weds sold have barely
maintained late rates, while others sold at extreme value.
English Market Hides were steady last mouti, up to the
last market day. when slightly lower prime were accepted
for middling and low qualities.
East India Kips.—On the whole we have to report a good
demand, more particularly in the early part of the past
mouth, when an Urania, of ed. to id. per lb. wu realised
upon second class light and heavy averages ; but, at the
series of public males on the sth instant, the demand for
export was not brisk, and heavy hides were slightly neg-
lected ; however, prices generally were unaltered.
The Leather Market is reported to be steady, with little
or no change in prices to note for any description!, and as
having a firm prospect.
With inference to the silk market, Messrs. Durant
and Co. report an follows :
We have unfortunately no change to report in the cha-
racter of the silk market—dill the lame dullness of de-
mand, limited &menet of badmen, and most unsatisfactory
deliveries. In China silk the arrivals have bete com-
paratively small, hence probably it is that the pressure
upon the market has been nothing of moment ; atiy prices
continue to have a drooping tendemey. In Japan silk too
the arrivals have been small, but eves this class suffers
from the general quiet. Bengal Bilk may be said to be
almost entirely Deafened. In Italian silk we hays still
very little doing, although prices may be considered de-
aiiiedly lower. In Brutia and Persian silk nothing.

in shares of If. each. The object is to purchase
the lease of, and work a valuable tract of
mineral land in the Island of Anglesey,

discovered. One of these has been worked to some
extent, and its value has been proved. It is con-
Nitlared that an extension of the operations will
soon develop the mine in a satisfactory manner.
Reports from several authorities indicate that the
mine will only hive to be carried to a very mode-
rate depth to yield good remake, and it is therefore
believed that an outlay of not more than 5/000:.
will be reqnired.
