(Fiotn Mr Ilelinutli Scliwaitze ) The market has expenenced no ohango iu the inteival that hab elapsed since the closo of last sales. Manufacturers an fillip eipploj eel, but busiuess geneially bhows no inctoise of spnir. The weather has been uuiute'mptedly (mo, and though some r.iiu would probably have been of grcatei benefit, the piospeets foi the ciops remain yet decidedlj favoiablo. 158 (i.S5 Kiles havo .11 1 lved foi the approaching AugustKeptembor bales, viz. :— 50, 173 bales JPoit Phillip; 49,458 bales Sjdney; 7911 bales Adelaide , 29,360 bales New Zealand ; 6710 bait") Van Dieman'a land ; 15,006 Cape. Total, 108,035 bales. , Looking sit the quantities which are still afloat and may arrive in time, the total to be ufteied will piobably reach 220,000 bales. Fiom the continent we may expect a fair competition, but not the powerful help we had in May ; for, paitly aio mamifnctiucrs well-btocked, and paitly do the veiy low pi ice of their own indigenous wools keep them from foreign markets But English buyers will, on the other hand — if the haivest be good — piobably open with greater spuit than they have shown of late, find in that ca'-e the maintenance ot the closing lates of June may be looked forward to. fluctuations and niegulaiitics seem, however, to be in bfcoie under any circumstances, for the enormous quantities cannot but exeicise a consideiable pressuie upon the market.
