LIVERPOOL WOOL SALES.-MAY 13

, Our present series of public sales commenced, yesterday,
under very inauspicous circumstances, ,but the attendance of
the trade has been larger and the competition more spirited
than was generally, expected. The first-day's sale consisted
entirely of East India, the result of which we estimate as
follows :—Long true-bred carding wools. show a. decline of
,id to 1d per lb. ; middling and low qualities, with few
exceptions, 4d to id. At to-day's sale, 740 bales East
India, 1,590 bales low foreign, and 964 sheets English skin
wool, &c. were offered. In East India, slight improvement
was manifested, but the low foreign descriptions being of an
inferor assortment did not command much attention, and
were chiefly withdrawn. There was a fair competition for
English skin, and the greater part sold at a reduction of
lid pei lb. on the fine and middle qualities of combing and
clothing descriptions; but on the lower sorts the fall was
less marked, and the result of the sales so far may be
considered more favourable than was generally, anticipated.
