The market being so overweighted with supply could not rally until lully two-thirds of the quantity apportioned for sale had passed the hammer. Those who have had longest experience in watching the London wool sales never witnessed so great a break-down of prices in the absence of a monetary panic, and as a natural consequence, such great irregularity in every description, the best and finest snffe -ing as irr^P T1 yas waßt y and inferior descriptions.
