WOOL MARZET.

25 381

The imports of Wool into London in the past week have
been small. In the private contract market only a limited
business has been transacted in foreign Wools, yet prices
have been steadily supported. For English qualities there is
more inquiry, at fully previous currencies. No public sales
are yet announced.

TALLOW
This market is still very dull, and prices are on the decline
both cn the spot and for the autumn. The delivery for the
past week is a fair average one, compared with that of the
last four or five years. It is quite impo►sible for us to give
an opinion as to prices of Tallow for future delivery ; the very
extraordinary changes now in progress in the metropolis in
the manufacture and composition of candles precludes ue
from venturing a statement on this point. New Y. C. ie 383
to 38s 3d, sellers ; Town Tallow, 38s to 39s net cash.
