WOOL.

Last week's imports of wool were 24 bales from the
Mauritius, 1,400 ditto from Moreton Bay, 1,587 from
Launceston, 282 from Hamburgh, 102 from Antwerp, and
1,170 from Adelaide. English wool is in goodrequest, and
somewhat dearer, but foreign and colonial parcels com-
mand very little attention.
