Ab 'usual, there was: a large attendance of buyers,,and competition was keen throughout the sale. -On, the whole., the-ouality of-most, of the offerings.; was not? up to :the standard of previous logues, as there was a.large number of dingy, heavy; and seedy parcels, hut, notwithstanding this, prices were vers firm, especially for all-coarse- -and inferior classes", which showed an advance on previous rates." -As is usually .the . case at this time of' the year, there was a large quantity- of lambs' wool offered, which also met with keen competition for, any lines • free of ' seed. We also offered a number of merino, clips . from the Marlborough province, aggregating about 1000 bales; .'most.-of /-which" was -disposed. ,of at priceß satisfactory to vendors, and wo look forward to increased offerings from this district next season, The highest price for this class of wool was Hid. for a line of the well-known "Benopai" clip.
