Some relief has this week been afforded the trade through the comparatively light auctions. 
The smaller quantity brought forward proved ample for requirements, the bidding being 
iiaracterized by a lack of animation. The postponement of' Wednesday's auction, on account of 
lie Funeral of the Duke of Clarence, raised Thursday's catalogues to a heavy total, the valuing of 
Jhich was considerably interfered with, owing to thick fog, prices in consequence showing 
pnsiderable irregularity.
