Keen Demand For Wool
(N.Z. Press Association) AUCKLAND, June 22, Extra fine secondshear crossbred hogget wool was keenly sought today at the final Auckland sale of the season. The official report, issued by the Auckland Woolbrokers’ Association in conjunction with the New Zealand Woolbuyers’ Association and the New Zealand Wool Commission, says that at the sale, which is a two-day fixture, three catalogues containing 24,984 bales of new season’s greasy wool were submitted to auction. This offering was entirely early-shorn wool and second-shear ewe, wether, and hogget wools of varying lengths.
It opened in generally better colour and condition than similar wools at earlier sales, although some of the longer staple lines which were grown when conditions were less favourable were inclined to be yellow. Competition was well spread and keen within
limits. Continental houses, supported by America, took most of the offering. Most noticeable feature of the sale was the keen demand for well-picked, extra fine, second-shear crossbred hoggets of good style and length, for which prices were from 2} per cent to 5 per cent dearer. Otherwise when compared with the sale earlier this month at Napier the Auckland market was generally firm. Passings for the day did not exceed 5 per cent of the offering.
