N.Z. Loan and Mercantile. The New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Co., Ltd., report:-Our proportion of tho offering was 3550 bales. Buyoi-s wero strongly represented, and bidding was brisk ou the. whole, bu!, owing in a great'mcasuro to growers' exalted ideas of values,'many, lots had to be passed in, growers not appreciating fully tho poor condition of their clips. Prices for skirtings, and ' rough and coarse crorsbreds, wero distinctly lower' than at the November 6ales, but all the better sorts of crossbred showed little difference in values. Halfbreds: were rather poorly represented, many of the lots offered by U3-being of only medium description. We obtained some good prices for light well-grown Romney, viz.:-rlOd. to lOid. Our woo! was displayed in thß company's large new wool stores on Thorudon Quay, and buyers and growers united in'. expressing their keen appreciation of tho up-to-date premises, and the mannor" in which the wool was •shown.

There was the usual satistactary attendance of buyers. The wool ottered was higher in condition than usual for tins time of tho year, but much of it was tender-hogget wool particularly so. Our catalogue contained many good parcels-representative of the best clips of the provinces, and theso elicited strong competition on a. dav which was not noted for the keenness of the bidding. Compared with November sale, prices for the best wools wore almost on a par. ' The same may be said of medium crossbreds, but inferior, clingy, and heavy wools fell a halfpenny per lb.
