WooL.-The attention of the trade during the
past week has been occupied with our public sales,
which commenced here onthe2lst and ended on the
24th, when 16,485 bales were offered, consisting of
5,671 East India, 3,291 bales Turkey, Egyptian,
Mogadore, &c., 2,003 Portugal, 2,473 Peruvian
and Chili, 1,437 Russian, 1,610 Buenos Ayres,
Italian and Sardinia, being the larest sales by a
considerable amount which ever took place here.
The chief feature worth notice in these sales, is
the East India Wool, which sold briskly, at a
shade above the rate ruling at the late London
auctions, viz.,-lst white well bred, 121 to 131 ;
middle white, 10 to 111 ; low white, 8 to 9 ; best
yellow, 101 to 111 ; middle yellow, 9 to 10,; low
yellow, 6. to 81; grey 3+ to di. Oporto. fleece,
12 ; Castelbanco fleece, well washing good color,
13 to 131.; Egyptian Ist white, 121 to 121 • 2d
ditto, 91 to 111, and part withdrawn. Thereabeing
very little competition for Barbary, Mogadore,
Russian, Buenos Ayres, and Lisbon, the greater
part was withdrawn, but, upon the whole, the
result of these_ sales may be considered satisfactory,
taking into consideration the large quantity offered,
and the unfavourable news from the. East, com-
bined with the increased rates of discount, which
have tended to check the animation previously
evincible.
IRoN.-This trade seems to be an exception to
other trades, as notwithstanding the gloomy aspect-
of monetary affairs, there has been no cessation of
activity, and prices are well maintained. The pre-
liminary meeting of the South Staffordshire trade
will, taka' place on Thursday, and it is believed
that an attempt will be made to recover the reduc-
tion made last quarter.
