N.I. wool cheaper
PA Wellington Prices for many types of wool fell further at the combined Auckland, Wanganui and Wellington wool sale yesterday. However, the market indictor, at 459 c a kilogram clean and 341 c greasy, matched that at the Invercargill sale on Wednesday. The official report showed higher prices for best-style fleece and B/C--style 37 micron fleece but lower prices for B/C and C-style 35 miron fleece.
Prices for second shear B-style wool were firm, but best lengths of poorer styles fell as much as 2.5 per cent. Bulky skirtings fetched less and prices for second-shear oddments were down 2.5 per cent on the last sale. First lambs’
wool prices were largely unchanged. Competition was restricted at first with a slow selling rate but the market tone improved during the day. The main buyers were New Zealand merchant scourers, who dominated the Auckland catalogue, with support from eastern Europe, the Continent, the Far East and New Zealand carpet mills. The Wool Board bid on 7 per cent of the offering and 1 per cent was passed to it.
The offering comprised 18 per cent fleece, 37 per cent second-shear, 31 per cent lambs’ wool, 8 per cent second-shear oddments, and 6 per cent miscellaneous.
