We have to report favourably of the result of these
sales, considering their magnitude. The attendance
throughout has been numerous of home buyers, but
comparatively few foreign. Prices were not so good for
the higher descriptions, from Is. Bd. per lb. and up-
wards, particularly Sydney, of which there was so small
a quantity at the last sales that they realised higher
rates in proportion: the decline has been from ld. to
lid. per lb. on the average. The Wool trade continues
very satisfactory, and there is every expectation that
present rates will be supported. Cape Wools were much
sought after, the quantity being small, and realised very
good prices, as well as East India.
The returns from the Bank of England give, as was
expected, a material decrease of bullion during the week
to the 81st ultimo. The large shipments to Australia
will account for this. The circulation was increased by
the withdrawal of a larger amount from private banking
balances than was paid in, thus far confirming the state-
ments made in various quarters, that money ia more in
demand. The public deposits increase, and will slowly
rise now, as the quarter advances. Compared with last
week, the changes are as follow:

There was yesterday no particular change in the rate
for bills on the continental cities, but they were, per-
haps, rather less in favour of sellers. Paris, 90 days,
25 471 to 50; Amsterdam, 12 1 to 1i; Ilamburgh, 13 9

The amount of specie exported from London direct
during the week to Thursday lest was—Gold coin to
Australia, 60,0001,; to Ceylon, 3,710/ ; and in gold
dust, 150 oz to Rotterdam. About 63,000 oz. of silver
were shipped.

The
decline n the market value of railway property
has now assumed an intensity which invests it with con-
siderable interest to all holders, as well as to those who
might feel disposed to purchase, and the following ob-
servations by Messrs. Tripp and Co. may on this score
be usefully subjoined:—
" At first the causes assigned for the decline in rail-
way's were that prices had risen too rapidly, and were
also higher than the coming dividends would justify,
" Upon these calculations largo sales, bona fide, as
well as of a speculative character, were made. It was,
however, g 3nerully expected that the strength of the
money market would prevent any continuous or serious
decline, and believing that the " Bears" would be com-
pelled to buy back their speculative sales, better prices
were an';ic:pated. Subsequently the accounts from
Ireland of the general failure of the potato crop. and
the fear of a collision with the Americans on the New-
foundland fishery question, gave boldness to the specu-
lators for a fall, and prices have again been forced to a
lower lirr it. The result of the decline being greater
than was. txpected, produces now a fear that many weak
holders w ill be compelled to sell, and that for a shod
time the iiepression may continue. The value of money
has not rdtered, but the demand has slightly increased.
Nevertheless the sellers of railway property will find a
difficulty in obtaining employment for their capital
where the *me rate of interest may be obtained as rail-
