The wool market, since the date of our last monthly
report, has continued very buoyant, and a good business has
been transacted, at prices generally in favour of importerE.
From the manufacturing districts, there are many com-
plaints of the difficulty in obtaining satisfactory returns. at
the present high value of the raw material, otherwise, trade
is healthy, and most of the mills are working full time. Thso
chief imports of the month have been from Peru, Bombay,
and Australia. From other parts the arrivals are but
trifling, and our stocks consequently continue unusually
lizht. By private treaty the transactions have been is
Peruvian washed fleece, Egyptian (on the spot, and for
arrival), En a.° Rio, Buenos Ayres, Cordova, Rosins,
Australian, and Sfax, &c., at high rates. The great demand
for Australian and Entre Rios wools, has caused an advance
of 3d to 41 per lb in th-se kit rig. which are still much
wanted. From the 22nd to the 26th ultimo, public sales
were held here. Upwards of 12,000 bales were offered,
including 7,800 East India, near 2,000 Peruvian, and 2:300
of various descriptions. The assortment generally was
good, and the attendance of home buyers large. The com-
petition was brisk, notwithstanding the absence of many
continental buyers, and prices ruled rather higher that at
the January sales. Fine white East India brought 13id to
1311 per lb (one small lot of superior realised 14td). Fair
and second white sold at 100 to 131 per lb, coarse and
medium 81d to 10d per lb, superior yellow lld to 111 d per
lb, second to fine 81d to lld per lb, coarse and middle 8d
to 81 per lb. Persian, brown, gray, fawn, and black, 844
to Ild per lb ; fine grey East India, 9d to 911 per lb ;
second, 8d to 8-14 per lb; coarse and middle 24d
to 71d per lb ; native white, 5d to 6d per lb ; native
black 41d to 5d per lb; native grey, 31d to 4d per lb.
Egyptian kinds were much wanted, one extra parcel of good
combing, being superbly got up, brought 151 d per lb, the
highest price ever given in this country, but as such a clip
is seldom seen, this quotation is quite nominal, the regular
qualities of Egyptian sold as follows :—White 12d to 131 d
per lb, yellow 9d to 111 d per lb, black, grey, and brown
fleece, 91d to 101c1 per lb, dark locks Bid to 9d per lb. Good
washed Sfax sold at 12d per lb, L',sbon fleece 121c1 to 15d
per lb, Frontier, of middling quality. 17d per lb. washed
Cordova (short) 9d to 9.1 d per lb, white Crimea 61d per lb,
Siberian 4d per lb. For Oporto fleece there was good sale,
and it was mostly cleared at higher rates. Extra merino
washed Peru, 22d to 221 d per lb, inferior to good Illel to
141 d, washed white Smyrna 811 to 91 per lb : other classes
at proportionate value. Scotch . Considerable enquiry
exists for white Cheviots, in the absence of stock no sales
are passing. Laid Cheviots are in fair request at the
quotations. Cross, washed, and Laid scarce. White High-
land has been sold at 16s and 6d per 241bs, no white Gallo-
way offering. Laid Highland and Laid Galloway have
realised 12s to 133 per 241bs. 'The last fortnight, buyers
have not operated at these figures, holders, however, are not
disposed to submit to a reduction, the quantity in growers
hands being scanty. English and Irish : There continues a
steady demand for all kinds of fleeces at the prices of the:pre.
vious month. Middle wedders have been disposed of at 17d
per lb, but manufacturers buy sparingly at this price; as
farmers are demanding exorbitant rates iu the country, there
seems no prospest of any decline. Combing skin in good
request, and not much in the market; short classes also
active. PERKINS & ROBINSON.

Bethune school, which her ladyship had inspected, her
carriage came in contact with a hackery, and was com-
pletely overturned. A native gentleman offered his
carriage, in which Lady Canning returned to Govern-
ment house."
