LONDON.
Auguet 23. The August-September series of colonial wool auctions were opened to-day. There was a good attendance of home and foreign buyers. The opening catalogue comprised 8200 bales, and there
was a fair demand. New South Wales wooh realised about the same prices as at the close of last sales, but Port Philip wools were weaker, crossbred and faulty and scoured sorts being one half-penny to one peany below the closing rates of the last auctions. In the House of Commons to-day a question was put to the Premier as to whether the Government intended to introduce a bill to amend the Englieh Land Act during next session. In reply Mr Gladstone stated that he could not promise that such a measure would be brought in next session.
