ALE. ALE. ALE." GOOD ALE, at 3s. per Gallon, from Two Gallons upwards, at G, Anderson's, George -street, near Maori Hill. To the Wool Growers and Merchants of Victoria and surrounding 1 Colonies. jT\ ENTLEMEN,— At the approach of the Wool \JC Season, we again beg to offer our services to you for the Sale or Shipment of your Wool, on which we are prepared to make Cash Advances, if required. We shall hold Weekly Sales of Wool, Tallow, Hides, &c, at cur warehouses, as usual, during the season. The interests of friends placing their clips in our hands for disposal will always command the most careful attention, and we may again remind our constituents that we continue to act as Brokers only, and are not dealers on our own account ; and feeling that a large share of confidence has been accorded to us by adhering strictly to this principle, as being so much more satisfactory to our constituents from there being no conflicting interests to study, we shall continue to act exclusively for those of our friends "who may favour U3 with their business. Our Warehouses, well known to many of our friends as bein» the most capacious in Melbourne, enable us, without any additional charge for Storage, to afford accommodation for holding over those ciips which our constituents may be desirous of keeping back for any period required ; and the efficient mode of lighting the premises, by which a steady south light is always obtained, enables buyers fairly to see and judge the value of the variotßTlO ts ' wfrett^e^SSSa^bTrsalet We shall continue, as iv previous seasons, to give every facility for the examination, and every care in the effectual exhibition of wools entrusted to us for sale. By these means confidence is established among the buyers, competition increased, and the full market value of the wool realized. We can refer with satisfaction to the favourable results of sales at our warehouses last season, and are gratified that our endeavours to establish this place as the best market in which growers can dispose of their wools have been so well appreciated, as evidenced by the increased quantity sold here every successive season since our commencement as selling brokers in this city five years ago, before which period the whole of the wool offered in this market for Public Sale (as shown by the printed catalogues) scarcely amounted during an entire season to as much as was offered here on one single day last season. This we attribute primarily to the system we first adopted of reporting on the market (though strongly objected to at the time by some interested parties, who have, however, since found it necessary to follow the example we then set,) which discovered to the wool-grower, from the quotations of prices and the reports of transactions effected, that wool buying was no longer to be a. close borough matter confined to two or three speculators as hitherto, and led to the firm establishment of a wool market in this city, and to adequate facilities for carrying on the large trade now existing here in this important branch of colonial resources and prosperity. A statement of the comparative results of the sale of a clip of wool here last season and in London will be found in our Circular of 18th August last, by which it will be seen that the grower is very materially benefitted by availing himself of the facilities of this market, inasmuch, as by its realization here,, he is in immediate possession of the net proceeds ; the heavy charges of shipping home, together with the uncertainty for a period of several months, are avoided, as also the risks attendant thereupon, which in the unsettled state of European politics is an important consideration, j In order to facilitate us in the fair exliibition 1 I of the wool as much as possible, we shall feel '< obliged by full particulars of the classification of the various flocks as packed at shearing, or by a distinguishing mark upon each bale of wethers, hoggets, lambs, or ewes, as well as of locks and pieces, which it is advisable and advantageous, in both greasy and washed wools, to have carefully taken dut of the fleece. In the_ event of the valuation placed upon the ' wool not being realized here, we shall, if required, be happy to make liberal advances, and ship the I same on account of the grower, which, from the { favourable arrangements we have made with our correspondents in London, we can • do on more advantageous terms than any other house. We trust to have the favour of your continued I support, and remain, Gentlemen, your obedient Servants, J. H. CLOUGH & CO. 111, 113, 115, Collins-street West, Melbourne. To the Wool Growers and Merchants of Otago and the other Provinces of New Zealand. GENTLEMEN,— Referring to our foregoing _ " remarks, we beg to Btate that we have made arrangements with our correspondents in Dunedin, Messrs. Frederic Greek & Co., by which Wool shipped to us, through them, will be subject only to our usual charges for Receiving, Weighing, Storage, &c, of |d. per lb., with a commission of 2 £ per cent, on sales effected, and in the event of the limits placed upon the Wool not being realized, we have undertaken to defray all expenses incurred, and to put the Wool on board a London Ship at lowest rate of freight current, with lighterage only added, when incurred. Liberal advances will be made by Messrs. F. Greer & Co. on Wools for Shipment to Melbourne, which would be extended to London should the Wools be re-shipped. By this arrangement the Wool Growers ot New Zealand have the advantage of the trial of two markets, without incurring extra expense, and should the limit placed upon the Wool be realized in this market, returns will be made within a month, efFeetinir a large saving in interest, nnd making||the business a safer one for the % ower.
