WOOL.

R tther a large quantity of Wool has been disposed of
at public sale during the past week. A few of the
inferior qu.lities have not changed hands, but nearly
the whole of the finest parcels have been disposed of at
extreme prices. Privately there is rather more inquiry
for British Wools, hut we have no material change to
notice in value. Since this day se'nnight the imports
have amounted to 88 bales from Hamburgh, 112 from
Cronstadt, 73 from Callao, 169 from St. Petersburgh,
50 from Naples, 31 from Antwerp, 292 from Bombay,
85 from Port Philip, 1,293 from Adekide, 1,001 from
Sydney, and 1,388 from Portland Biy.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were
estimated at about 5,000 bales, including 500 American
on Fp ec uhti on and 500 for export., 4,000 American
realised 43-4. to 6id., 100 Pernam and Maranham sid.

was firm.—ln Railway Shares but little business was
done.

The Grain Market in Mark-lane is steady to-day for
most articles.
Notice has been given this morning from the General
Post-office that letters may be sent to Belgium, directed
viii France, either paid or unpaid, but that is future the
Bri ish rate alone cannot be received. The full payment
is le. 3d. per half-ounce.
The progress of mining industry in South Australia
has been so constant that the accounts received from
time to time scarcely meet from the public at large
the attention they merit, and even the recent difficulties
that have occurred have been well surmounted. The
fourth annual report of the South Australian Mining
Association, made to the shareholders at Adelaide,
states—
" The proprietary will be pleased to learn that while
a cloud has been passing over the affairs of the company,
from the unprecedented state of the markets, discoveries
have been made in the mine which give the directors the
greatest confidence in its present value and future pros-
perity. The most important of these are the lodes—one
in the 30 fathom level, south-west from Graham's shaft,
consisting of red oxide and malachite in great abun-
ance, and the other two fathoms wide, in the thirty
fathom level, east from Kingston's shaft, yielding ma-
lachite of high produce. Some idea of their value may
be formed, when it is known that during the present
take, the men (twelve in number) employed in
the only two pitches set on these lodes, in
the first week of their workings produced eighty
tons of the richest ores. It is most satisfactory that in
all these discoveries the lodes appear well defined, and
the ore improves in quality in depth. In the old workings
new lodes continue to be found; and there yet remains a
good extent of ore ground at the twenty fathoms levels.
The production of the February and March take' was
equal to 1,000 toes per month. The present take is expected
to be more productive. From the establishment of
smelting works in this province and in Sydney, the ship-
ment of ores to Britain will be very much diminished, if
not altogether abandoned, and the increased profits
arising from the sale of the ores within the
province will be considerable. As the particulars
of the arrangements entered into by the directors with
the Patent Copper Company will be submitted to this
meeting of shareholders, it is unnecessary for the
directors to remark on the subject here, beyond stating
that the delivery of the ore to the company com-
menced a fortnight since, and the first tapping of
coarse copper took place last week."
It is probable that the strenuous exertions of the
Australians will greatly effect the English smelting
business. The mining interests in the colonies have
suffered with those at home by the very low range of
prices for ores, but it is shown that the South Aus-
tralian Company has a large balance after meeting all
liabilities.
The llamburgh mail, with Friday's advices, brings the
quotation for three months' bills on London at 13 10f,
being steady; Gold was at 4371. There was very little
change in Stocks or Shares. At Berlin, on the
27th ult., there was very little doing in Public Secu-
rities; and at Vienna, on the 26th, Austrian Metallics
were quoted 96. The Amsterdam Bourse, on Saturday,
was dull, the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. being at 54.
The Dutch Ministers, who resigned, had published, by
consent of the King, the motives which prompted them,
and which appear to be chiefly the difficulty of agreeing
with the Second Chamber.
The report of the Leipsic fair, dated the 25th ult., is
even more favourable than the previous statements we
have had. A very active wholesale business had been
transacted, and although the sale of woollen goods was
checked at first by the advanced prices asked,
there was a large sale afterwards. The rise is
estimated as being equal to 2 and 2i rix-dollars per
piece since the Easter fair. The supply of English tex-
tile fabrics was rather limited, and they were much
wanted, and would have commanded a large sale, as the
stocks in most countries were low. German goods also
went off satisfactorily. Thibets, mousselines de lainess
and other similar goods, were most in request, but print-
ing cloths were flatter. The advance generally was
5 to 10 per cent.
St. Peterburgh accounts of the 21st report a slight
increase of business in the Tallow market. At Ant-
werp last week ousiness was dull in colonial produce.
The grain crops throughout Prussia are spoken of as
being better than was expected. The vineyards in Col‘
d'Or will yield fairly, and the quality of the grape is fine.
There it a very flat market for Public Securities,
owing to the confirmation, and with further details, of
the refusal of the Porte to deliver up the Hungarian
refugees. Consols, which closed cei Saturday at 93i to
93, have been as low as 92.1 f for Transfer, and
924 f 4 for Account. The premium on Exch( quer-
bills has been 38s. to 419., and on India Bonds 775.
Consols are now again about 92k, buyers. India Stock
is worth 257.
The Foreign Securities have partaken of the flatness
of the English market. Mexican Bonds have realised
261 to 27, being about lower.l Buenos Ayres
continue to droop, and are likely to go lower.
Brazilian Old Stock is at 83. Venezuela Bonds
have been 231. Spanish Five per Cents.
have been at 161 to 171 ; and the Three
per Cents. at 34 to Portugues Four per Cents. are
about 29 to 30. Russian have fallen 2to 3 per cent.,
being now 105 to 106. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. have been marked 534.
The Railway share Market has been exceedingly dull,
and with a further depression in most of the quotations.
Great Western have been fairly maintained, however,
and likewise South-Eastern Brighton.
