COLCIIESTAR WOOL FAIR.

Colchester Wool Fair oa Tuesday was well attended,—
Mr. Tower being call( d to the Chair, washed to prowl& she
buyers to avail themselves of the opportunity of porchaviug
at the real ask inures. He founded this advice, in the ti..t
place, on the rife( t the new tax on foreign wool onset
inevitably produce, as soon as the market becomes a little
relieved from the weight of the stock iu hand; secondly,
because the quantity of wool imported fur the last quarter,
up to Jnly 5, was less than half the tplautity imported
during the corresponding quarter in the preceding year;
thirdly, because the importers of foreign wool are *opposed
to be so tied up with their present heavy stocks, as to be
very reluctant, at least, if able, to make advances fur wool
on the other aide of the water.
After briefly noticing the diminution of those funds for
speculation, which by some have been termed commercial
facilities, an one of the good effects which would result front
the removal of the Bank Restriction, he observed, in the
fourth place, that the stock of cloth has been gradually get-
ting less of late, while, on the other band, the manufacturers
are supposed every *lisle to have shortened stroke. Hence
be was led to conclude, a little revival in the price of wool,
shout November next, to be a probable consequence, and
to he expected. lie then recommended those who were
anxious to sell, to be contented with (tom 15d• he 9.011.
fur Soultidunn and other short-woollcd sheep, and fount
14.1. to 181 for long wool. He recalled to their recollection,'
the superiority of those fine combing wools, such as the
Norfolk and S aillulown crosses, which were entitled to prices
exceeding those shore stain!, (tom their adaptation to the
Isombsseen trade of Norwich, A certain dispos,tion to
purchase on the part of the buyers immediately took effect,
and the wool of too Southdown breeders was disposed of at
MI. per lb. and of one at 19.1. Mr. lionyerutul refu,.ii
