Mfesauk Moht and Co. report for the month, under date. Sydney, November sth : —The wool season of 18S.'J which was inaUgimtted by our .sale of 17th instant m tho presVnce of an unusually large number of jjfiijfflisl) and Foreign buyers, may now he tjtviu to be in full swing, and the ni.uket lias sloAdii'd at a point which, although connd&rably below the rates of l.vst year, canliot but bo regaided as satisfactory when recent London results are taken into conHidilratioii. As all our friends must bo aWare, L mdon prices dm ing tho past season haw been in many cases, actually below those in tho colony, and the result of neaily all transactions lnis b^en heavy loss to tlio buyer. It is impossible but that this state of things should re-act on our maikot, but wo are nound to confess that our buyeis aiv returning undismayed to the charge, and that where fair allowance for the fall i-> made by the grower we have no difficulty in effecting wales. The difference between present \ alues of greasy wool and those of October, 1882, we estimate at about Id per pound, more or less as the wool is in better or worse condition. Good hcoured is perhaps slightly better value; of washed fleece we cau say nothing as theie is none in the market at present. (train.—Since our last prices have given way to the extent of about 8d per bushel; our last sales of colonial wheat were at 4s (yd ; of Adelaide the market is well .supplied and this week we sold a large parcel at -Is Gd. We quote New Zealand wheat at fi om 3s to 3s S)o per bushel for be^>t lines.—Oat-j realise from 2s to 2s 7d per bushel for best parcels, and 1& (id to l/> lOd for medium. — Bran, lid to 12d ; pollard, 9tl to lOd.
