The biddings throughout the whole series were of a most
animated character, and we have much pleasure in referring
to the annexed improved list of prices for all descriptions.
Sydney wool for clothing purposes was in much request,
many approved -flock»1, in fair condition, realising full average
prices. We beg again to impress on the colonial growers
the necessity for more careful maaigement in the getting up
of their flocks, both as to washing and casting their fleeces,
and as colonial wool materially interferes with, and, fro
general purposes, is fast superseding the continental growths
in this maiket, a remunerating price to the grower can only'
be secured by increased attention : we regret to be obliged
to notice the prickly and burry state of many of the finer
flocks.
Van Diemen'« Land wool partook of the general improve
ment in price both for combing and clothing, and lambs'
wool of superior quality realised high prices.
Po't Phillip wool was much sought tor, and we feel
confident that ordinary care in the washing and getting up
will obtain for them fair remunerating prices.
Cape wool continues to be much'in request, and a general
improvement in the growth is evinced ia the importations of
the present season. We have Seen fi few bales of very
superior quality, approaching in value to the finest Saxon
fleeces, being from recently imported sheep of purebred)
and we have no doubt that the care and attention now
bestowed on roany of the Cape flocks will, by judicious
crossing«, give satisfactory results.
East India wool so'd at full prices.

London, 26th August, 1843.
It will be observed that the prices of South Aus
tralian wool are not given, but in another report
we observe that there were only 52 bales of it sold,
probably the refuse of the lots. The following
prices are given :

Captain Hart sold his oil at £133 per tun, and the
bone pfc £227 per ton, and oil was on the rise.
The following gratifying report of South Aus
tralian corri is by a merchant, in London, and a
member of the Corn Exchange r
"The samples of wheat and barley from Adelaide,
" which you have sent me to look at^aiae^very beau
"tiful, better they cannot be in cleanliness, bloom,
"or condition. Any miller here would give 64s
"perhaps. i66s for the wheat, I should say, and the
"barley is worth 30s per quarter. It is rather
"steely."
It should be borne in mind, however, that the
sample exhibit«! in London, was one of the best
produced here, and that every one would not draw
such prices.
Our friend Captain Hart states, that Lord Stanley
had expressed himself very much in favor of the
colony, and stated that he thought it was in a bet-
ter state than any other. It is Captain Harts, opi-
nion that emigration will be speedily renewed, and
he states that the general opinion throughout the
country (and he had been in all parts of it) was
highly favorable. There are about 30 passengers
by the Augustus, who are generally people of sub-
stance. Among them is the eldest son of Mr
Angas, who intends taking views of the country, for
the purpose of publishing an illustrated account of
it. We understand he is exceedingly well qualified
for the undertaking.
The Symmetry had sailed from Leith 3 weeks
before the Augustus, and may be hourly expected, i
She has got an excellent freight from Lrith and a |
good number of passengers.
The Taglioni, Capt. Black, was laid on in Lon
don, but it was uncertain whether she would load
for this place. Probably the next vessel will be
! dpupp.tched by Mr Hagen's house. The Mary
Nixon and George had been taken off the berth.
Hie Lady Howden was loading at Glasgow for
this plajee, and the Medusa at London, to sail
about 1st Oct. A family at Berwick had engaged
room in the latter fur 60 tons goods.
The Bremen was loading at Bremen. She is to
bring German emigrants.
We are happy to state that there is a general
improvement, in trade throughout Britain, more
particularly in the woollen districts, as will be
shewn by the following extracts from the Liverpool
Albion of 18th Sept:
.* BRADFORD.- WOOL MARKET. -There
has been more business done during the week in
most kinds of < orabing and clothing wools, and
the report of Bristol fair has had the effect of j
establishing an advance YARN ¡MARKET.
Owing to the staplers demanding higher prices
for wool the spinners are under the necessity of
requiring more for yarns, which are ready sale,
and improved prices are now current. PIECE
MARKET.-The demand for all kinds of piece
goods, both plain and fancy, is very steady,
and late prices firmly maintained. - Manchester
Guardian"
" BOLTON.-It is very gratifying tobe enabled ¡
to state that the demand for several descriptions
of cloth is at present so great that many manu
facturers have actually sent out to canvass for
weavers, to whom an increase of wages is offered,
-Ibid:1
"TRADE OF LEEDS.-The woollen trade of
this district continues so uniformly active in all
its branches that we have Ut th? to state in the
way of report beyond this fact. The stocks of
manufactured goods are light, and as most of
the clothiers are making to order, there is a
prejty confident anticipation of a brisk winter
trade,-Leeds Intelligencer:* ¿
''HUDDERSFIELD MARKET.-There was a
very good attendance of merchants here on
Tuesday, many of whom purchased extensively j
in plain cloths, and. as the weather still con
tinues fine, there was a good business doné in
fancy pieces, principally of the lower qualities.
-?Ibid:*
"HALIFAX MARKET.-The transactions
here on Saturday were again brisk. Manufac
tured pieces of ali qualities and kinds were;
readily purchased, and the sales of yarn, both!
for home consumption and export, were extensive.
The wool market was active at former rates;
but, as middle wether wools were in consider
able request, and the market was not over
stocked with the article, a trifliog improvement
was realised. - Ibid:1
** WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET.-Although
the sales in all kinds of combing wools have
been on a limited scale this week, yet the stocks
on hand being equally small, the advance of last
week has been fully maintained. Blanket arid
clothing wools are without any alteration for
some weeks past,-Ibid" \
The following is also cheering:
'* We are happy to he able to announce, from
undoubted authority, that two manufacturers in
the town and neighboMrhood have given an
advance of ls upen the tartan web. - Stirling
Observer.*'
The crops throughout Britain seem to be
excellent.
