tll a marked change at a decline of 1-16 d. per lb.,
b not lower. The sales amounted to 9,000 bales
'-500 for export and 1,500 on speculation—
toPrising 350 Pernam and Maranham, 6gd. to
j!Ti,(l. ; 250 Egyptian, qd. to 81d. ; and 600 Surat,
eto sd. per lb. The Railway Share Market
raore buoyant, and prices of the various lead-
' Stocks advanced.
There has been very little animation in the
markets for colonial produce this week, which may
partly be ascribed to the Ascot races having at-
t acted many of the principal dealers. West India
I 4gar has been in fair request at exceedingly firm
Zees,
the quantity brought forward having been
i:tiltr limited. Coffee has realised full quotations,
titil; has not changed hands to a very large ex-
bat, Cocoa has ruled quiet, and in tea very little
14 been done. There has.been more inquiry for
:like kinds of spices, but cassia lignea is cheaper.
4blers of saltpetre have evinced much firmness,
very little business has been done. Tallow is
tla, but quiet.
the
from the French wool market state that
ikt recent heavy rains and bad weather have mili-
ed against the shearing season. At Loissons
ft
first produce of the clip has turned out to be
4bad condition, caused by the excessive humidity
tizig injured the staple of the wool. The quan-
btY thishis year also will not prove so abundant as
7e
Year, especially of the finer sorts grown upon
hills. On the other hand, the intermediate
dad 3 grown in the valleys will average 10 per
ttlt. more than the produce of 1855. The
eBB, however, of the fine mountain wools
bie higher, and some lots have already been
at 3f. 20c. per kilogramme, in grease,
th(t 6f. 50c. per ditto, washed. For inferior wools
tt: Merchants who have stocks on hand are asking
4114, 2L 70c. to 2f. 80c., but the buyers are not
tined to give more than 2if. The quotations of
to Washed wools in the market are from sf. 20c.
sf. 70c. per kilo., and in grease from 2f. 50c. to
0,,,80e. At Marseilles, on the 7th inst., 250 bales
wool was sold at 75f. per quintal, and 83
assorted and carded, from 165 f. to 225 f.
importations included 275 bales Mazagan,
bales Oran, and 209 bales from Turin.
41,44 consequence of the expectation that the dis-
tielltial of Mr. Crampton, if determined upon, will
lucceeded by the retirement of Mr. Dallas, the
Ma are drooping, though no decided decline of
hnliP°llance can be noticed. There is very little
tkilleas doing and further intelligence from Arne-
is awaited with some anxiety. Consols are
at which they have ruled all the morning.

to'o4sols have since declined to 93f to 94, owing
Irunaour that Mr. Dallas has been recalled.

The Share Market is dull, in consequence of the
dealers 4 being busily employed in making up their
:ounts preparatory to the settlement. Prices
,etaostly lower, and the market has a heavy ap-
rarance. South-Eastern, Great Western, and
M ecashire and Yorkshire are flat. The Foreign
it
4(1- Colonial are dull.

Australasia Bank shares are 10s. better.
