The premium on gold yesterday at Paris was 19
per mille, which, at the English mint price of
31. 17s. 10id. per ounce for stai.dard gold, gives at
exchange of 25.62;•, sod the exchange at Paris ow
London, at short, being 25.65, it follows that goid is
0.11 pFr cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By last advices the price of gold at Hamburg was
435! per mark, which, at the English mint price of
31. 17.. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an
exchange of 13.10; ; and the exchange at Hamburg
on London, at short, being 13.101, it follow, that
gold is 0.06 per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in
London.

Letters from Naples of the Bth mention that the
accounts from England and France had depressed
the market for olive oil, p iricularly as nothing posi-
tive was vet ascertained as to the probable out turn of
the cJming crop; but as the consumption was good
and the stocks had become much reduced, no mate-
rial decline in price was expected to take place. The
quotations were, for Naples, 31d. 50g.; and for 0,111-
poll, first, 32 to 311 d. per eels on board. Almonds
(Bari) were quoted 31 d. 65 g. Cream of Tartar,
white, 11 g.; brown, first, 9; g.; ditto, second, 8t R.

the first series of sales of the colonial wool clip
for the season commenced on the 2nd inst., and closed
th's evening. The quantities comprised in the cata-
logues have been 1,620 bales Australian, 3,981 Ade-
lead., 10,015 Pert Philip, 2,597 Van Diemen's Land,
30 New Zealand, and 3,726 Cape; making a total of
21.969 bales colonial, besides 330 bales East India,
and 2,818 foreign. The subjoined report of the sales
Is from the circular of Messrs. C. and J. D. Jacomb,
issued this evening :
These sales have been characterised by a large attendance
of h• me and foreign buyers, aid a remarkable uniformity
thrmghout in the range of prices, which may be quoted ne
within a trifle of those obtained is February for mess sorts
of lawn qualities from ell the colonies. Finer Port Phillip
and Sydney wools have experienced a decline of id. to ld.
pet lb., while on en average Van Diemen's Land fl ,eks a
rather larger reduction may be considered to have occurred.
The condition of Port Phillip wools generally shows that
great pains have been tikes in the getting up, and this
has been duly appreciated by purchasers. The burr
is however observable in some &elm A larger quantity
than we had expected has been taken (or foreign ace not,
principally for Belgium and Germany—French buyers
not operating extensively. We regret to say that the
small quantity of Sidney wool offered was for the most part
inferior in condition, seedy end !luny, bat realised the full
value, taking into account these great detriments.
The went of Sydney wools for these sales has been
seriously felt, only one cargo having arrived in
time to be included. This is the more to be regretted as
it is probable the succeeding sales will sontsin a larger pro-
portion from that port than is perhaps imitable for one
series. We trust, however, that succeeding arrivals will
show a larger proportion of well•conditioned flock., end thus
prevent a decline in rates, which may be anticipated if the
bulk shows the unwelcome presence of the burr and grass
seed, which appear to be increasing evils in Sydney flocks.
It cannot therefore be too often urged on the Australian
settler, to endeavour to obviate these datsrioratiag influ-
ences by every means in their power. Adelaide wools show
improvement in condition end growth of many flocks, and
have produced fuU proportionate prime. Of Cape wools the
assortment was but of medium quality, and these have mold
a trifle under February rates. For skin and scoured wools
the demand continues good, and late prices have been main.
tamed. But India and low wools experienced a ready sale
at rather lower Men.

THIS DAY.

Two °Twee.
After the regular hours of business in the Stock
Exchange yesterday, numerous transactions in the
English funds took place, at a decline of 1 from the
official closing prices. The explanations afforded
by ministers in both houses last evening with
reference to the recall of the French Ambassador,
were not received with much satisfaction in the City
this morning, and produced rather en unfavourable
effect in the English stock market. The quotations
for Consols were first made at 951 to 1, from which
they fell to 95 ; but on receipt of the accounts from
Paris of the more conciliatory tone which generally
prevailed in the French capital, after the first ebulli-
tion of public feeling had subsided, and the steady
gradual improvement in the Rental, prices at once
went up to 951 and 2, at which they were last done ;
they have however since become rather weaker, and
are now quoted 953 to 1 both for money and account.
The Three
_per Cent. Reduoedmark 941 and 1; and
the New Tbree-a-Quarter per Cents., 96, and last at
Exchequer Bills have been done at 67e. and 70a.
for all kinds; and India Bonds, at 90a. and 87s. pm.
Long Annuities, 30 years, 1859, mark 8. India
Stock, 2651 and 7.
In the foreign stock market some flatness was ob-
servable at the commencement of business, bat
this has since in a great measure paned off, and
the market is now @toady, at fully lir...riffles
rates. The chief fluctuation has occurred in Mexi-
can, which have improved from 30 to* le at
which they opened, to 31, being at present called
30f to 31. Peruvian Actives mark 761. Buenos
Ayres are rather weak. The actual dealings com-
ries :—Brazilian old Boids, at 87. Buenos Ayres,
for account, at 521, f, and 511. Danish Five

Datoh, at 551 ; Exchange, 12 guilders ; the
