farther decline. Quotations, however, are in all
cases little better than nominal.

The following, with reference to the Colonial Wool
,
is from M. SchwartzA :—The following wools
hive been offered in our public sales up to this
River,
:-76,877 bales Port Philip, 4,112 bales Van
emen's Land, 21,202 bales Sydney, 5 bales Swan
I.iver) 16,765 bales New Zealand, 10,561 bales Cape,
;Ai'-'58 bales Adelaide, 295 bales sundries ; total,
0775 bales. Of this quantity about 11,000 have
Peen Withdrawn. There is no change in the position
f Australian wools, but Capes have, during the last
°.llr or five ve days, suffered a fresh decline of
bu, and sell now quite as cheap as in the
(',;;inning of the November sales last year ; good
j'eluLred and fleece are even id to ld cheaper. The
flnti, of the wools is taken by the home trade, as
e'reign buyers are still thinly represented, and operate
tautiously. No particular complaints about bad
B„raSe are advanced, but business is evidently not
~,`liciently brisk to prevent the large quantities from
upou the market in an unprecedented man-
tr,"'„All descriptions Mower than at the close of
