THE WOOL TRADE.

Yesterday the sales of colonial and other descriptions of
wools, which Commenced publicly on Wednesday week, ter-
minated. The total quantity of wools submitted to the manu-
facturers and others engaged in the trade was upwards of
4,800 bales. The attention of buyers from the manufacturing
districts during the greater part of the period occupied by the
,ales was pretty numerous. The chief attention of the buyers
was directed to the wools from New South Wales and Van
Diemen's Land ; of these descriptions about 2,500 bales were
offered. Some of the finest fleeces offered during the sales
were purchased as high as 3s. Id. to 3s. lid. per lb., being
the best wools, and in finer condition than others offered at the
sales. The second quotation of wools from Australia sold very
evenly, and the demand was steady. The prices ranged !ie-
tween 2s. and 2s. 10d. per lb., and the low wools, including
those in the grease, at prices varying between 10d. and ls. 4d.
per pound. The prices realized at the sales for New South
Wales wools equalled those given at the last October sales for
the finer qualities. Inferior wools were in some instances
quoted lower. The Van Diemen's Land wo'ls were not ge-
nerally of good quality, and fetched comparatively low prices.
The best offered during the sales went off at Is. 3d. to ls. 9d•
per pound. and the inferior qualities at lower terms. A small
parcel of wools, consisting of seven bales imported from the
new colony on the Swan River, was offered during the sales,
and fetched the highest prices, as was stated, yet received
from imposts from the colony, having realised ls. 9d. per lb.
About 500 bales of German wools were offered during the
sales, and sold pretty freely at full prices, the finest offered
realizing from Is. Bd. to 2s. 0., and the inferior from Is. sd•
to Is. 7d. per lb. The quantity of Odessa wools declared for
sale was between 400 and 500 bales, and the greater part of It
was taken readily by the trade at highprices. Washed Odessa
wools sold at from 2s. 2d. to 2s. 10d. per lb. for the best qua-
lities, and at from Is. 2d. to 2s. per lb. for the other qualities•
About 70 bales of Germanized Odessa wools realized from
Is. 2d. to Is. sd. per lb. Of Portugal wools about 100 bales
were offered, and realized heavy prices. A variety of
wools from the Cape of Good Hope, Tuscany, Italy,
Turkey, Smyrna, St. Helena, East India goat, and
other wools were offered during the continuance of
the sales, but their quality and condition generally was not
sufficiently marked to require particular notice. The sales
concluded with Spanish and Odessa wools. Of Spanish
wools about 480 bales were offered, and sold with some ani-
mation at ls. Ild. to 2s. 4d. per lb., according to quality.
The Odessa wools sold yesterday consisted of 210 bales,
forming part of the total quantity of this description of pro-
duce noticed above. The wools went off at 2s. to 3s. per lb.
for the finer, and at 11d. to Is. 11d. per lb. for the inferior
and low qualities.
The sales attracted considerable attention in the City, and
the result is to establish a firm market for wools, especially
for the produce of New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land.

STAGE TRICKERY.—In a little town in Germany
the manazcrs of a theatre, seeking to draw a full house, lately
advertised that in a melodrama which was to be performed
they would exhibit the head of a noted robber. In order to
effect this one of the actors was placed in such a manner that
his head alone was exhibited upon a table ; but a merry wage
wishing to raise a laugh at the expense of the poor manager►
slily placed a small quantity of snuff in such a way that it came
in contact with the nose of the reputed robber, which threw
him into a violent fit of sneezing, to the great amusement of
the audience.
