BRITISH WOOL MARKETS. 

 LONDON, Monday, July 27.— The firmness with which 

 the public sales of colonial wools are progressing, has consider- 

 able influence upon our market. The business doing is not 

 exteusive, yet there are very few holders willing to sell, unless 

 on higher terms. Some orders have come in from Belgium ; 

 and the supply of wool here is very moderate.

DONCASTER WOOL MARKET, July 25.— There was 

 only a small supply of wool, and fewer buyers in attendance. 

 The trade was less brisk than last week, and inferior clips 

 rather lower towards the close of the market. 



YORK WOOL MARKET.— The supply of wool has been 

 about 300 sheets, nearly all of which was sold, but the busi- 

 ness lacked animation. Moor wools are again in slow de- 

 mand, at rates having a downward tendency. 



LIVERPOOL WOOL MARKET, July 25. 



Scotch Wool. — There has been very little doing in laid 

 Highland wool this week, as most parties have supplied them- 

 selves with a little at the fairs. White Highland : scarcely any- 

 thing come to market yet. Cheviot and crossed : there has 

 been little doing, no doubt from the same cause as in the case 

 of laid Highland.

Foreign Wool. — The market was pretty well cleared of 

 all useful wools at the sales, and although the London sales 

 are going off at an advance, with the light stocks here it can 

 scarcely be said that it does more than strengthen the market 

 for anything to come in.
