THE WOOL MARKET,

We have to report a fair extent of business in foreign during
the month, and, although without any change m prices, still
there is a firmer tone, and, for such descriptions as are scarce,
rather higher prices are demanded, and, in some cases. such ac

certain qualities of East India, which are in good request, some
advance has been obtained. A public sale of about 300 bales of
this description was held here the early part of the month, all
of which sold at full prices. There has been a fair demand
for Ilogadore, principally for midding to good qualities, both
qualities are very much but we cannot quote
for the home trade and export : prices are held rather firmer.

depressed, and difficult of sale. A little has been done in Cor-
dova, both washed and in the grease, at former rates. Several
sales have beer, made in Russia Donskoi, but without a change
in price. A fair business has been done in Peruvian, washed
and in the grease, but the demand is confined to better quali-
ties of both kinds; other kinds are quire neglected: the stock
of this description has been accumulating for some time, and
is now becoming considerable. Several large sales of Alpaca
have been made during the last week, but without any change
in mlces either for white or colours. Public sales have been
going forward in London since the 10th instant, consisting
principally of fine Colonial, and are now about closing; the re-
sult is considered, on the whole, satisfactory, the average ad-
vance on the former sales in October being quoted lid. to 2d.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE. FEB. 29.
Although during several days past we have had% strong gale
from the west, very few vessels have entered this port since
Friday ; the supplies on the whole, in addition to thOse then
stated, are consequently light.
Notwithstanding the duties on foreign Grain will be resumed
to morrow, this circumstance has not produced any material
effect upon the corn trade at our market this day.
Wheat, however, has been rather more firm, at the full prices
of this day week, for all kinds of foreign; and fine Irish new,
which was scarce, was the turn dearer.

Flour in fair deinand, both sack and barrel, at the full price
of Tuesday last.
Barley le. lower.

Malt barely supported the prices of this day week.
Beans and Pease unvaried.
Oats Id. per 451 b.. and Oatmeal M. per load, higher.'
Indian Corn and Meal was also in fair demand, at the price:
of this day wepk, r.....cring the depression of Friday.
