: the wool fair of the season had commenced,
tic' the market generally was quiet, with an ad-
„iqice of Yto and Ito 1-1, rix dollars per stone
tin,_ the average prices of 1855. On the
trucl day the market continued good, but the
4nee in prices was not well sustained, the wools
Poffered,t not being so satisfactory in condition as was
jeeted. Advices from the wool growers in the
thbouring districts state that the general ap-
Zrance of the clip is good, and will prove more
I'lidant than last year.
4z4clvices from Akyab, by way of Suez, have
oela received, stating that there has been a eon-
:erable rise in the value of rice, chiefly on ac-
;aat of the scarcity of labour, caused by a malady

71tations ; more than one-half of whom have

'climbed to its fatal influence. There is a large
: :ober of ships waiting for cargoes of rice at that
ths Port, Which has also stimulated the market towards
locilise, and the latest quotations are 80 rupees per
Paniers, and at this price not easily to be had,
'that next accounts may report a further advance.

ii:lable in Lombard-street at 4i per cent., and an
