iLONDON, Thursday Evening.
The English Stock Market has been again dull, the
dulness continuing. thrOugheut the day, prices haling
again taken an unfavourable turn. .Consols opened at a
decline, which subsequently increased, and up to the
present period no indication of improvement is visible,

depreciation scarcely seems to be of an important
character. Caledonians may be quoteil about per cent.
lower ; some other stocks about per cent. under pre-
vious quotations_
The market for Foreign Securities likewise exhibited
a dull aspect and depressed condition, with a small
amount of business. _ Mexican Stock- has receded per

LIVERPOOL WOOL SALES.—OCTOBER 27.
Messrs. W. Greame & Co., in their monthly circular,
dated to-day, say:-Our last series of public sales for
the present year commenced on the 19th inst., and ter-
minated this evening. The attendance of the home
trade has been unusually
.good throughout, but scarcely
the usual average of foreign buyers; and the result on
the whole is satisfactory, although scarcely so favour-
able as was generally expected. The small quantity of
Australian Wool attracted a large attendance of fine
Wool buyers from all quarters, and sold with great
spirit at about Id. per lb. above the last London rates ;
and had we been enabled to offer a larger quantity and
better selection, as afforded at the London sales, we be-
lieve the result would have been even more satisfactory;
another striking proof of the advantage that would ac-
crue to importers if they would consign a more equal
proportion to this port. As regards East India Wools,
the superior advantages of this market are now so com-
pletely established as to require no comment, the imports
here to date amounting to above 33,000 bales, against
about 3,000 bales imported into London. The bulk of
these sales consisted as usual of these descriptions which
commanded an active competition, and the whole sold brisk-
ly at a slight advance on our last sale's rates; the improve-
ment was more marked on good and middling Whites and
Yellows, inferior descriptions showing little alteration.
Of low foreign Wools our market has for some time
been very barely supplied ; the miscellaneous lots offered
at this series, with few exceptions, did not command
much attention, and in tlicse sorts we note no improve-
ment—the finer classes of Egyptian Wools which have
lately, commanded very high prices were neglected, but
lower qualities sold at about previous rates—the same
remrk applies to Oporto, good washed Fleece not
realizing late current rates by private contract was with-
drawn, while lower sorts brought full prices. Fine Buenos
Ayres brought extreme rates, while middle and low sorts
were heavy of sale. For greasy Lisbon but little
inquiry and chiefly withdrawn. One parcel of fine
Lima Wool brought high prices, but for low Chili, &c.,
no demand. For Russian, Iceland, &c., the biddings
being considerably below late current rates, these sorts
were also withdrawn for a more favourable opportunity.
The sale of English skin and fleece attracted a large
attendance of the trade, and the greater part sold at
satisfactory prices. The next public sales in London
j_Bxed to commence on the 10th proximo, and from
tharLinnantip, to. be offered at this series (say about
e smelt'
bales Aub:_ralian and Cape Wools) a 'high rangJ
32,000
ted.
of prices is generally ai.L.4..;'iPa
In their monthly circular, elated the 27th instant,
Messrs. Hughes and Ronald say :---The arm tone in
the Wool Market referred to in our last Monthly report
has been since fully maintained, but owing td the public
sales being announced, and the greater part of the
recent arrivals held ovel for that Maslen, the general
business by private contract has been-necessarily inter-
rupted, and for the most part confined to the more press-
ing requirements of the trade. There has been a good
demand for Peruvian and Lima, both washed and greasy,
and most of the late imports, as also some parcels in
second hands, have found ready sale. The transactions in
Alpaca have only been to a small extent ; the stock is
at present very light, and-held at higher rates, which
rather checks business fer the moment ; the prospects,
however, seem in favour of sellers. Mohair continues
in good request at full prices. A fair business has been
done in River Plate Wools, and for the bettcr qualities
the demand is increasing and the prices are very firm.
The sales of Lisbon and Oporto have been to a fair
extent at former rates. Donskoi has been more
enquired for, particularly best parcels of combing.
In English and Irish Wools, the • extreme tenacity
of holders has limited business to immediate re-
quirements, but consumption continues on an un-
abated scale. Scotch has continued dull, without
alteration in quotations. Sheepskins have been much
sought after, and anything of a fair class has brought
full rates.—The Public Sales, which commenced on the
19th instant and closed this evening, comprising 23,887
bales, as per particulars below, have engaged consider-
able attention, and brought together a very large con-
course of buyers, both of fine Wools as well as of East
India and other low Foreign descriptions ; the demand
for the Continent has been only moderate, but there has
been a brisk competition from the Home Trade. Port
Philip Wools brought from id. to Id. per lb. advance
an the closing rates of the last London sales.
The average advance on East India may be quoted
at Id., while on better qualities of grays and yellows it is
ld. per lb., and even more on well-bred and long-stapled
parcels, which have been eagerly sought after, and have
been very scarce. Most of the unwashed Lisbon was
withdrawn, as well as the Oporto fleece. A good por-
tion of the Buenos Ayres was also withdrawn, but a
fair quantity has been placed since. There was not
much done at the sales in Iceland; several parcels of
white brought 12id. to 124 d., and gray 84d. to 9d: per
lb. The last series this year of the public sales in Lon-
don will commence on the 10th proximo, and the quan-
tity of colonial to be offered will be about 40,000 bales,
nearly half of which are Capes.

The following appeared in a part of our
iinpression of yesterday :

THE MONEY MARKET.
The transactions in the Stock Exchange to-day were
very circumscribed, but the character of the purchases
lately effected tended to support prices. The funds
closed the same as yesterday. In the share markets, in
the absence of business, quotations in most instances
were nominally unaltered. There were no operations
in bullion at the Bank to-day. A portion of the
£45,000 by the Asia was taken for transmission abroad.
The Maid of Judah has arrived from Sydney with
169,235 sovereigns, which are understood to be chiefly
of Australian coinage.—Daily News.

and 953 to 96 account. At the Bank
the applications for discount were . moderate, but in the
general market there was an active demand at full rates.
The terms for advances in the Stock Exchange 1„ to 2
per cent. The railway share market has been very in-
active. A telegraph from India to-day shows an up-
ward
tendency in the Calcutta rate of exchange, but no
actual alteration. From Shanghai the latest quotations
are 6s. 74d., showing an adverse movement of about
1 per cent.—Times.
