The Customs Revenue collected at the Port of Napier for the quarter ending Thursday, 31st December, amounted to £6,425 103 lid, inclusive of Pilotage, Fees under Arm. 3 Act, Deposits on Sight, &o. COLONIAL WOOL REPORT, We take the following from the circular of the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company, dated 31st October:— A slight hut generally improved tone has pre" vailed in the woollen manufacturing districts during the past month, and there have been indications of a small increase in the scale of consumption of •wool. The trade, however, is perhaps more largely stocked than for a long time past, and though there has been some enquiry for Australian wools cf first-class growth, which, as usual at this season of the year, are in moi*e moderate supply, the actual sales by private treaty have been of insignificant extent. The date for the commencement sales b:is not been officially fixed, though an impression generally holds that they will open on the 19th November. The arrivals to date are as under;— Sydney Port Philip Adelaide New Zealand Van Diemen's Land Swan Eiver Cape of Good Hope 14,729 bales 8,195 " 807 " 8,481 " 1,742 " ... 55,790 Having regard to the very large increase in the production of wool which, according to the most recent Colonial advices may be anticipated for the coming season—a considerable proportion of which it is expected will be forward for the early sales of the new year—it is probable that any tendency to improvement resulting from a more favorable condition of trade, will be in a great measure checked by a more than ample supply.

The "Weather.—As our readers are aware, hot dry winds have for some weeks prevailed, and many complaints were being made of the want of rain. On Saturday a change took place. The wind, which had been from the westward, veered to north, and finally to north-east, the barometer began to fall, and ere night set in, what is usually termed a "black nor-easter" prevailed, causing a heavy sea in the Bay. The ships in the roadstead rode out the gale in safety—the Excelsior being made fast to the Government moorings, and the Ida Zeigler holding on to her own anchors. The quantity !of rain which fell was comparatively small, but it will prove of immense service, Last e rening the barometer began to rise, and there is now every appearance of a return of fine weather,
