Messrs. "William Greame and Co., issued; the fol-
lowing circular this afternoon :
The public sales of Wool are progressing quite as
favourably as could be expected in the present unsettled
state of political affairs on the Continent. At the first
day's sale (consisting entirely of English Wools), prices
wsre very irregntur, short Wools realising decidedly
higher rates, while-on combing Wools a slight reduction
was submitted to. In East India Wool there is ntr
material change, the' competition has so far been very
animated, and on the whole a slight improvement is now
manifest. For Foreign Wools the demand is far' from.
active, and we are not enabled to quote any improvement
in these. descriptions. The sales last until the 26th
instant, and at the conclusion we shall have the pleasure
of waiting upon you with a more detailed report

favour of a good

tinue in demand, and are marked lOs prem. Foreign mining
shares are inanimate.

WEEKLY REPORT OF METAT. RKEr.—The business of the
week has not been very large, but it has been satisfactory in all
respects. Copper keeps in good demand, and has all the ap-
pearance of a healthy position ; some of the holders of foreign
still speculate upon enhanced prices. Iron finds a steady mar-
ket. Manufacturers have better prospects than at any time
during last year ; Scotch pig is kept low by the very heavy

stocks. Tin' hardly mainta-inis its highest poiht, which Seems to
have been reached prematurely and incautiously ; spelter has
flagged, but a large business has been done to-day in it; tin
plates are in better demand..

LEEDS.—There Ms been on the whole more confidence mani
,sted in the preservation of peace, and consequently more
isnosition to purchase both in English and foreign wools.
