(By Telegraph—Press Association.) fircf December 16. v. ij \ salo of the local season was hold hero to-day, when a small catalosue of 3465 bales was offered, about 500 of which was passed iu. Tho top price was Jl3d. lor crossbred hogget. A feature of the Southland sale ia tho large quantity ?tL lt® j ,voo! , offcr ed, and because ol !_ limited quantity of this wool offered v* tPm 1 ' a^va i*. a . commands good Drives Mr. ~Hill, secretary of the Association, states that to-day's mls was mo3t spi - Hted in tto Dominion! wa ? l uit ° as keen as at other WW i Pnces - wcro as hiK!l ai, i even e0 i??

A foaturo of tho sale was the unusually, high. prices <.f pieces S™™ i? 8 ! 'jv' n . E paid for " ieC(!s from fleeces which fetched BJd. Tliis is accounted for by tho fact of Continental buycrß S CP m !al competition for t'-at class of woo . The majority of the wool offeri y W j s ,i K 40 me dium strong crossbred, and the average price was from Sd. .to 8d„ as against 93d. to 9d. last year Those prices are, however, about Id. in admw °i 0 av " a S<> rate of rccont y«ara. u mr'iPj .1™! a ' OT showed abrut IJ>-reduction, but as has been said already this is not taken to mean a weak ening of tho market.
