supported, but at Leipsic, on the 15th June, prices rose about 1 rix-dollar per stone, compared with the corresponding period of 1846, although the quantity brought forward was 50,000 to 60,000 stone. The condition of the fleeces was scarcely equal in some respects to that usually expected from Silesia. There were English, Dutch, and Belgian buyers present.

Accounts of June 16, from Leipsic, state that nearly all the wool brought to the fair had found buyers. Fine and superior samples were in most request. The English, French, Germans, and Dutch were buyers. The lowest quality wools were at 11 and the highest at 24 rix-dollars per stone.

At Baudessin, on the 15th inst., the holders of wool were very firm. The condition of the samples was excellent. Fine realized 16 to 18 rix-dollars per st., and low 8 to 11. From Pestb, under date of June 11, we learn that business was not brisk in manufactures. Goods of ordinary quality sold best. A great deal was done in raw wool, about 30,000 cwt. being sold.

In the Berlin market, on the 20th inst., there were 70,000 cwt. of wool. About 30,000 cwt. had been sold already at 2 to 5 rix-dollars advance, compared with this time last year. There was no want of buyers.

The Gotha fair was well attended on the 20th June. There were 11,226 stone on offer, which sold at about last year's rates, viz., 8 to 13 rix-dollars per stone. The quality generally was ordinary to middling fine, and the washing most satisfactory.

PLEURO PNEUMONIA.-A correspondent informs us that this disease is making great ravages in the neighbourhood of Winslow, Bucks. A local cattle insurance association there has had very heavy drafts upon its funds, stated to be upwards of £160 in three months. The Farmers' and Graziers Cattle Insurance Association (see advertisement) has, we are informed, during the same period, paid upwards of £6,000.

At the Posen Wool fair prices were not very well! Printed by Joseph Rogerson, 24, Norfolk-street, Strand, London.
