We ottered an attractive catalogue <H -- 5300 bales, and, under spirited competition, .. \ disposed of 2950 bales at auction. Taken all round, wo consider yesterday's sale tin best of the se-ason so far. Compared with last sale merinos ehowed ■ practically no alteration from the satisfactory rate* then ruling.

Our remarks made last month oa to the -f general condition of the wool then offered ,l npply alfio to that submitted yesterday, excepting that there were more station clips .«j included l in the present catalogues, and a '* much larger proportion of merino. '*C The attendance was large, including seve- }. ral additional iomgn buyers, and competi- '"s tion good, though the tone of the sale wa» a shade easier for medium halfbrede nud '-rmerino of the same grade. ~,•. Crossbrede and coarse wt>ole gencraUf, j^ however, improved to the extent of quite g per lb on the December sale-, and a very ' {'/ satisfactory ijlearance of such was effected. .^ The Culverdien clip, which has now been JoSered here for many yeans, as usual com- £ manded a lot of attention, super merinos §" vi this line bringing- up to ll£d, soma }& withdrawn at Hid. halfbreds to 9id, ff: We may also specially mention the"Wor- *Q iingham, ,, EFJC orer four squai-es, Prtttee vJ of Wales Feather over G, 7/A over Ota- a { buna, Holton, WW, Mount Benger, fc>Nrf "^ Key over Skye, VR conjoined over t, ••'£• Shades, LCG over Ti Tini, P over LUU* Greta, v» etc., all of which com- '^. manded good competition, and a ready ",-? cU'jranro. *$> Kriefly summarised, the result of the paie may be given asunder.-—Merinos and £ halfbreds (the choicest lots exoepted) were, < * perhaps, a trifle lower than at the Uecem- ?} ber sale; coarse crossbreds id to Id i{ higher; average crossbrede id betterj 'i mixed classes, ecounng linee, etc., un« \ clwngcd. %.
