LIVERPOOL :WOOL MARKET.-ANNUAL
CIRCULAR.

When in our last annual circular we intimated the necessity
of caution, we little imagined the very grave and serious re-
verses which our manufacturing and general commercial in-
terests would experience during 1847, marking it as a year
long to be painfully remmembered for the almost unequalled
amount of embarrassment it entailed on the trading commu-
nity. We may, perhaps, principally attribute this result to the
enormous excess of money-value of our imports (including
provisions) over that of our exports. Whether the amount of
imports unde the circumstances was excessive, it is not our
province to inquire, but under our present limited system we
can speak of the effect as most decisive and disastrous. By
the adverse influence of the exchanges trade became paralyzed,
a frightful depreciation in the value of almost every article
followed, and was succeeded by a money crisis of the most in-
tense description. Under these discouragements, we are happy
to say that we believe Wool has suffered to a less extent than
most of the raw materials of our leading manufactures, owing
to the great caution displayed for a long time past. Prices are
decidedly lower, say from 5 to 25 per cent. under the quotations
of this date last year. The fall is most evident in Australian,
Cape of Good Hope, Russian-Merino, and Buenos Ayres
Wools, which is partly attributable to the undue quantities
ht at one V- n the mark pt at a Loncin-• -- "•

aroug... at u. Ame on the market a, ne London public sales.
In domestic and some of the useful qualities of low Foreign,
as East India and Egyptian, the fall is less marked, and will
range from sto 15 per cent. The entries of Foreign and Colo-
nial Wool into this port during the past year, although less in
number of bales by 8,060 than during 1846, is fully equal in
weight, the excess in Buenos Ayres more than compensating
for the deficiency from the West Coast of South America.
We remark during the year a full average demand for Wool
for export. This branch of the trade seems on the increase,
and since the suspension of the import duty, this market pro-
mises to become the great centre for foreign imports. In the
export of Wool of home growth we observe a diminution. In
the export of Manufactured Goods we are sorry to perceive a
great falling off to most quarters. This is, fortunately, to some
extent, made up by increased shipments to the United States;
our extending relations with that country now forming one of
the brightest features of our prospects. Stocks of Foreign
are generally light, and not likely to be increased by any heavy
arrivals for some time, as the prices in most of the markets
abroad are still too high to allow of shipping to advantage.
The stock of domestic Wools held by the trade and manufac-
turers is unusually : that in the hands of growers will be
above an average. But in the present position of the agricul-
tural interest there is little prospect of its being unduly
pressed upon the market. On the whole, we have every confi-
dence in the maintenance at least of present rates ; and, al-
though further disasters may demand a continuance of the
present salutary caution, we have strong grounds for antici-
pating a steady and healthful course of trade for the ensuing
year.
