remarks, which extend over the past month, to the circu-

"`The business done here in Foreign by private contract has
been to a good extent. There is little change in prices to no-
tice, but there is rather a firmer tone, and on some descriptions
which are most sought after, a little advance has been obtained,
but it has been by ncs means general, and with the competition
Foreign has to sustain with British Wools, higher prices can,
rdly be expected. We have had some large

been several arrivals from Buenos Ayres, consistin
of good quality Mestizo, washed and greasy, which are in t
course of landing but not yet on the market. Both Mesti
and common Wools have been in fair demand, and somewb
higher prices have been obtained. East India has been in f

request, but without much change in prices. Spanish Frontier
Wools have been a good deal sought after, and full prices have
been obtained in consequence. Good Oporto Fleece is in re-
quest, and some has been sold as high as Bd. per lb., but in-
ferior parcels are very unsaleable. Rather more has been done
in Scotch, but there is no change in the market."

before us, we decline quoting them, as we are informed
they are entirely nominal. In Bacon, Hams, and Lard,
there is little animation.
The arrivals of TIMBER from British America during
the month consist of 35 vessels, 23,230 tons, against 35
vessels, 20,773 tons in same month last year. The feeling
gains ground that prices have seen their lowest, and that
henceforth a steadier, if not a more active trade, will
result from the improving state of the manufacturing dis-
tricts. The effect has been already felt in Spruce Deals

Birmingham, and Liverpool only, and the route of tho

large towns in the way, to Edinburgh and Glasgow.
From Glasgow it is to go by sea to Belfast, and to proceed
down the east coast of Ireland to Dublin, and perhaps to
Cork, where it will be transhipped to Bristol, and travel
ever the south of England to London, or some of the
eastern ports, where it will again be taken by steamers,
and proceed through France, Belgium, and Germany.
it final resting place will probably be England ; but the
collection is of such general interest that it will be sure to
meet equal success in the great fairs of Frankfort and other
contmental cities, where it is destined to poceed, as it has
done in this country. The collection required eight days
to journey from London to Liverpool ; it required seventy
horses for its transit; and the fifteen waggons in which it
travels weigh from four to five tons each. Louis Philippe
