A GOOD DEAL of wool has been received by holders during the past week, but the actual business done has been rather less than usual. Silk has advanced considerably, and buyers of manufactured articles composed of this material are willing to give down orders at old prices which are but seldom accepted by manufacturers.

The Australian merchants have expressed much disappointment at the prolonged delay of the mail. To the buyers of textile fabrics this is rather an important time for this market, and much inconvenience has been experienced in the loss of the opportunity of despatching answers to expected letters by the last overland mail.
