The following, on the wool trade, is from Mr.
Helmuth Bchwartze's circular, dated yesterday
The first seriea of Liverpool alpol Fast Indian wool
was vaiterday firef to commence enTu .oWay, the 28th inst.
15,000 bales will probably be eared, of which shoat 10,880
bales have et prevent arrived. The sile of mmeellselcols •
wools will follow, but neither date ear particulars are as
yet known. The arrivals for the gave series of Leaden
colonial wool sales comprise up to to-day-3,928 bales
Sydney, 2,021 bales Port Philip 2,187 bake Adelaide,
2a bales New Zealand, and 15,856 bales Caps; total,
24,057 bales. Hardly anything of the new Aseire/lan clip
has as yet come in, and owing to the late shipments from
Melbourne cud Adelaide the larger wool ships will mostly
arrive towards the latter end of February, ham it is pro-
bable that the commencement of the males will be ilxe if
anything, later than usual. Trade °optimums dull, and
prospects are little cheering.
Advice. from Venezuela by the present mail
state that another revolution had broken out in
that republic, and that the position of the country
was deplorable in the extreme.
