Mr. Helmuth Schwartze thus reports on the state of the
wool trade :—" The fourth series of colonial wool sales
has been fixed to commence on Thursday, the 27th inst.
The arrivals up to date comprise 130,308 bales. Of about
23,000 bales (principally Cape wool) which are afloat the
greater portion may be expected to arrive in time, so, hat
with the wools held over from the last series, the total to
be offered will probably reach 200,000 to 210,000 bales
Of this quantity, it will be attempted, on the recommen
dation of the committee of the New South Wales and Van
Diemen's Land Association, to hold over 25 per cent.
for a series of sales, which is to commence on the 2nd of
February, 1871. The accounts from the English
manufacturing districts are not unfavourable ; a fair
amount of business seems to have been done ; and dealers'
hands are pretty free to operate in the approaching sales.

A prospectus has been issued of the Mariner's Reef
Quartz Mines and Crushing Company, for working mines
at Maryborough, in the Australian colony of Victoria.
The capital is £50,000, in shares of £l, of which £20,000
is to be the present issue in England. The purchase
money is to be £20,000, half in cash, and half in shares.
