GOOD PRICE OF WOOL.
TEMPTED THE AMERICANS. At a 'timo when the price of wool is not such as to hold out promise of a rise, it is refreshing to receive evidence of • buyers in London having paid a better prico for better sorts. A Waipukurau gentleman who dispatched his wool to London by tho I'ongariro, has shown a Dominion correspondent his report for July 29, wherein he received 9Jd> for 29 bales, and 7d. for 2 bales of belly wool. The wool, which is from .the Romney-' Lincoln sheep, weighed 91b. each' sheep. The remarks upon the sale-sheet were: "'Well grown, clean, well "classed, and competed for by American buyers." A previous sale of this gentleman's wool' realised lOd. per lb. Ho attributes the good prices to the fact that he constantly changed the sheep from one paddock to another, notwithstanding that there was no .better pasturage in tho one than in the other, for none, of his neighbours secured anything equal to this in price, with equally good land.
