THE WOOL TRADE.

From Messrs. Perkins and Robinson's Circakir.

The Wool market lies been without any animaton throughout
the past month, and with the xception of very limited transactions
in a few current descriptions, business has been nearly suspended.
In the manufacturing districts short time has been very generally
resorted to ; orders, in numerous instances, have been counter-
xnandtd, and the anticipations as regards tl e futare are gloomy ;
but there is this favourable feature, that considering the very severe
pressure that has been expulenced, very few failures have so far
occurred. _ _

The sales in this market have comprised small parcels of the better
classes of Egyptian, Oporto lambs and cotta, at a decline of id to lid
per lb. on late auction rates, and some small lots of East India woo
at a slight reduction. One or two parcels of washed Cordova have
been placed, and a few bales of the best class of washed Lisbon and
Frontier wools have also found i3nyers, 'and are stlil wanted. Italian
Skin has moved slowly at a consideratie reduction in value. Italian
Fleece is very dull of sale. Holders of fine Greasy Lima are not
disposed to meet the decline. Our stocks of Australian are not large,
and but little business is passing ; but recent arrivals of native grown
wool from tne United States have been sold at from is 10d to 2s Id
per lb. First-class Mogadoro would cozna.and a free sale, inferior
and Sfax are not wanted. Buenos Ayres very quiet. Good washed
Entre Bios are wanting, and would sell.
-

No sales have transpired in Alpacca, which continues scarce, and is
very firmly held. In Mohair a fair business is reported.
The I ondon Colonial Wool Sales, which will shortly close, have
gone off at a considerable reduction in prices, aad a quantity of the
lower descriptions have been withdrawn.
SooT,.u.—our quotations are altered to correspond with the fall In
the value of other wools, es the transactions in Chariots, and White
and Laid Highland, are quite nominal. Holders are not yet prepared
to sell at such a decline, anticipating that in consequence of the
smallness of stocks, consumers will be compelled to give the high
prices asked ; but it seems probable that the depressed state of trade
generally will cause cheaper wools to be substituted.
I,NGLISII AND laisu.—Nothing of moment has occurred In Trish
Fleeces. in English there ha, e been some large sales at a reduction
of about 5d per lb. Middle Wethers have been offered at 14d per lb ,
and in one instance 13c1 per lb. is reported to have been accepted.
Northumberland half-bred Iloggets, which sold lately at 21d per
lb., have been bought at 16d per lb., and Parcel Fleeces in proportion.
In Skin Wools a like de,..line may be noted.

From Messrs. W. Greame and Ca.'s Circular.

There is little or no improvement to notice in the wool market
since our last monthly report ; the past two months have witnessed
a series of di3asters unprecedented in the mercantile world, and
the only wonder is that so far (he wool trade has suffered but little in
comparison with o':her branches, it is true that in some few eases
where forced sales have been made, the reduction has been very
considers :le, (particularly in English wools,) but these are excep-
tional cases ; stocks of moot tit scriptlons aro far from being heavy, and
holders eeince no desire to press unduly on the market. The ac-
counts from the manufacturing districts show that great Caution is
being exercised both by manufacturers and spinners who are mostly
working to order, and only running their machinery three or four
days a week, which will have the effect of preventing any great
accumulation of stocks of manufactured goods, and COntiieJ the
demand for the raw material to the limited requlremerits of con..
snmers ; th s combined with the large public sales proceeding in
London, ss high still occupy the chief attention of the trade, has
tended to make the past month an hum ually dull one in this
market, the transactions are consequently quite unimportant, and
aithough in the absence of bu,iness we quote but little reduction in
foreign wools generally, holders are nevertheless prepared to meet
the market fairly when aey demand arises, and the general impres.
Man seems to be that the worst point is passed, apd that we may
shortly see some improvement in this bratieh 'of trade. The public
sales in London which commenced on 12th ultimo have progressed
heavily at a reduction of 3d to 4d per lb. on the current rates of the
last sales, this reduction tieing more marked on low ill-cond,tioned
New Zealand and Cape woos a large portion of which has been
withdrawn ; the series for the fine wools will terminate towards the
end of the present week and the low wools will probably be brought
forward early in the week following, but particulars are not yet
advertised.
