It is stated in accounts received this morning that
the probabilities are against the Great Britain steam-
ship being got out of the difficult position in which she
is placed, and that this fine ship must
become a wreck. We trust that this anti-
cipation may prove to be entirely unfounded, but,
looking to the change in the weather, the extreme
length of the vessel, and the quantity of water She
draws, the chances are certainly against her being
got off, unless with very considerable damage.
The wool sales have just been terminated, and we are
much pleased to report that they have gone off satis-
factorily. For wool of good quality an advance has
been obtained. But upon all hands it is admitted that
the wools are sent home too full of burrs and prickle.
The colonial flock masters ought seriously to consider
these complaints, and attend more to the condition of
the staple they send to this country. The Cape wools
come over very well, and, as a matter of course, better
prices are realised for them.
The Public Securities are very dull to-day in conse-
quence of the thin agendance, this being a strict holiday
with the Jews. Consols for present Transfer hare been
marked 95,1 -I, and for Time 95 -a. Exchequer-bills
have maintained the improvement to 14s. and 17s•
premium.
The Foreign Stocks are maintained at fully tke pre-
vious rates. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 26i,
and the Three per Cents. 37 to Mexican Bonds hale
been quoted 251.
Shares are quiet, except Blackwell, in which a good
deal of business has been doing, under the impression
that the Birmingham or Eastern Counties Company
may lease the line.
