TheCoa £ Tkadb . —The strikes have not quite sabsided , but the miners are here and there resuming-work , and it is hoped that the differences will soon be at an end . The supply of coals continues good . The fourth and last sales of colonial wool for the year commenced on the 4 th of November , and terminated on Wednesday . The quantities- comprised in the various catalogues were 53 , 815 bales . Of the above , about 46 , 000 bales were fresh arrivals since the commencement of the last series , the remainder being from second hands , and wools held over from previous sales by importers . The sales opened with great spirit , which was maintained to the close . A general advance on all
descriptions of colonial wool has been firmly established , and may be quoted on an average from 2 d . to 2 id . on Pott Phillip , Van Diemen ' s Land , and New Zealand—Adelaide selling in about the same proportion , and varying from Id . to lid . to 2 jd . on Sydney—the lesser advance being on the finest clothing qualities . The demand from our home manufacturing districts has been very animated , and being especially so from Bradford operated most favourably on all combing descriptions . The French spinners were likewise eager and large buyers of all the superior long , sound staple-flocks , and their combined competition steadily upheld the advanced prices fully to the close . The sales may be reported as having conditioned
gone off very regularly , but at times heavyfaulty clothing descriptions barely maintained their highest point . Cape wool , as is usual in the November 6 ales , formed the largest item ; more so than any previous year . Nothing can prove more forcibly the improved position of the woollen trade of this country than that so large a quantity , unaided by any demand from Germany , and less demand from either Belgium or the Rhine , has been cleared , realising 1 Jd . to 2-d . advance on the inferior hand \ v ashed , and on the very large quantity of short-stapled half-grown fleece wool . The quantity of superior scoured and sound-stapled well-bred flocks Was comparatively small . The like descriptions sold at an advance of 2 d . to 3 d . per lt > . Lamb wool -was in great demand , at the extreme advance , as were likewise good quality skins . The selection of them was , however , exceedingly limited .

REVIEW OF THE WEEK . ijincing Lane , Friday Evening . Rather considerable arrivals have taken place this week , and although sufficient time has [ not yet elapsed to bring them on the markets generally , they have not been without some effect , a ? they have induced holders to offer existing stocks more liberally . We have , therefore , to report some extension of business in several departments , and it may be taken as fair evidence of the steady growth of actual demand , as also of the confidence generally felt in current values , that a small concession in prices has sufficed , in nearly every instance , to bring buyers freely into the markets . Anything like permanent activity is ; not , however to be expected at this season of the year , which , is usually dull , even in the most flourishing times .
Provisions . •—Newgate and Loadenhall are still glutted with meat , and prices , except for pork , are not xnuch improved ; but to-day trade is rather better .
