quitting them. East 'lndia wools meet with th
degree of Oegard as hitherto, and are as carefully
and cleaned. These features alone give this description
a pre-eminence over most low wools, and make it saleable
at all periods. The demand for Mediterranean kinds
has been limited, chiefly to parcels long on hand : the
high prices at the various ports there preclude the possi-
bility of bringing it, unless at a serious loss to the
importer ; • therefore, when the scanty lots in the
market are consumed, there remains but one alter-
native, either to be wi' hout wool, or give:higher prices.
There is not the slightest prospect of holders on
the continent submitting to any reduction. Good
Turkey wools, if pretty free from scurf, have sold
well, the inferior but slowly. Bosnia ha.s:only been taken
in small quantities, although offered far below the rates
at the ports of shipment. Half-fine Servia has been
enquired for throughout the year, and In good demand at
a price which would only entail loss to the importer.
Buenos Ayres has met with fair sale, and the quantity on
hand very trifling. The last accounts from that quarter
inform us that all the wools are bought up and shipped to
the United States, and nothing coming here. Of Cordova
there is a fair stock, which is held firmly at higher rates;
there is a fair trade demand. Iceland, during the year,
has gone freely into consumption; and is making greater
way with manufacturers. Donskoi has moved tardily for
sometime, but the receipts being suspended, the reduced
bulk is stiffly kept for full prices. In Russian Merino, no
transactions for want of arrivals. Russian Lambs have
been all cleared, with the xception of small lots,
Autumns come under the same category. From the
United States there has been nothing ; the manufacturers
there consume all the growth of that country. Although
the importations from Peru show an increase over the
previous year of more than three-fourths, such has been
the scarcity of other sorts that the number of ballots are
reduced to, great limitation, with every prospect of an
exhausted supply for a time. Both Peruvian Sheeps and
Alpaca have experienced active sale: in most instances,
the latter description haying- been contracted for More
arrival. Mohair also has found a good market, consumers
operating with avidity. The Imports of wool, for the
year, into this port. number 120,370 bales, which shows
an increase of X 0,793 bales on the previous year's
import. This may be accounted for by an increase in
the supply of Peruvian, (which are only small pack-
ages), an additional supply of Mohair,and the Australian,
forwarded to London; the probability is, that the receipts
into all the ports will manifest a great decline in weight on
low wools, which must cause serious Inconvenience if the

present consumption is maintained. Great surprise was
apparent when it became known that the wool exported in
1854 was double the quantity of 1853, and still greater will
be the apprehension when it is known that in. 1865' the
exportation of low

and twice the quantit was, one-half the receipts,
y exported in 1854. The question
now introduced is as to future supply ; that it will be for
some time precarious and uncertain can not be doubted, and
's the manufacturers of many goods are entirely dependent
_lgn wools, only one prospect is prominent, and its
Jvidencl will be a considerable rise on the present value.
It is quite certain parties will not bring produce with the
foretaste of inevitable loss. The closing month of the year
evinced greater animation and prices have also advanced;
the miserable state of stocks of all kinds (East India alone
excepted) has evidently opened the eyes of several consum-
ers, who have purchased at the advance to some extent. A
large business is doing in the woollen districts, and
the mills well employed to enler, both for the
American and other foreign markets, which with
purposes, will most
an increase of clothing for army
assuredly cause a serious drawback, unless importers can
find the raw material remunerative. A good trade is now
