28th inst., and the sth and Bth of October, of 3.0
bales of ditto. Notwilh,tanding the large inures-0
which has taken place in the imports of Wool from our
colonie',,, we find that those of foreign are still on the
increase, as is shown by the following return of the
quantities of the latter taken into consumption :

increase upon that in 1843, of 10,500,0001b5. • upon
that of 1842, of 13,200,0001'5. or nearly ~,„
per cent. But this increase is not confine,"
either•to foreign or colonial Wool, for it is equally
apparent in English, of which latter it is estimated that
upwards of 27,000,000 pounds additional have been 0311:
sumed this season over last. The great demand !`
home has been the means of considerably reducing the
exports of foreign Wools during the present year, as "
thus shown :

Of English Wools, the declared value of the exports
in the first six months of the year was as follows :---

1842 252,100
1843 150,355
1844 181,412
Although the deliveries for home use have been verlf
large, it is fully apparent that the stocks in the hands °
the farmers and others are extensive even for the time °t
year. Prospectively speaking, under these circumstances'
we see no reason to anticipate any advance in the P.lleO.
sent quotations. As the public sales are engrossr,
nearly the whole of the attention of the trade, the de'
mand, privatvly, is inactive, at last week's currencies.
