WOOL.

London, August 26.— The Bradford wool market shows a fair inquiry, but prices are unchanged. At the sheepskins sales 29,00 bales were offered, and the bulk was sold after good competition. Americans are operating freely. Merinos are unchanged. Australian orossbreds are one farthing dearer, and New Zealand one halfpenny.

Messrs. Stronach, Morris, and Co. report :—

Rabbitskins.— We offered a large catalogue on Monday, when there was t»he usual attendance of buyers present, and com»j'elition was gooH. Prices may 1 bte 1 quoted the same as last week.

Sheepsikins.— On Tuesday we had one of the best sales we have had for some time, all sorts being elagerly competed for, and prices fully up to late quotations*.

Tallow and Fat.— No change to report

Hides.— We sold last Tliuisday, and we were fortunate in topping, .the market with s£d for ox, which is more than that obtained at any other sale. The market, however, continues very low, and we cainnot recommend consignments being sent at present. We think vendors would do well to hold what they have im hand meantime, if they could do so, ponding a better feeling in the Australian market.
