Tho first wool sale held in tho Dominion since the waterside trouble, com-

menced here to-day. Prices were very disappointing, being reminiscent oPlhe 1901 slump. It is estimated that fiiß" 'actual loss to tho woolgrowers of Otago through the waterside trouble amounts to .£BO,OOO. The sale was to have been held on February 21, and was postponed on account of the waterside trouble. In the meantime wool slumped enormously. To-day the bidding was erratic, some lots realising above London parity, while many other lots of equal quality were neglected altogether. The proportion sold was approximately 10 por cent, of the offering. Better quality farmers’ crossbreds brought sd. to 6d. Hogget wools were preferred, and odd hogget lots brought up to 7|d. The great bulk of the merinos from Central Otago was passed in. Thera were very few station halfbred clips on offer. Up to lunch the highest bid for this class was 10}d., at which it was passed. First-grade necks .and light pieces were loww by 4d. as compared with January, with the exception of 56’s and 60’s, which in some cases realised up to January bids. Competition was lifeless for scourers’ pieces, and prices were from 2d. to 3d. lower. The following range of values may Tb given. In order to compare to-day’s sale with the auction held in January last, the prices given as to-day’s values only refer to wool actually sold and not to

CANTERBURY MARKETS

SLACKNESS TN NEARLY ALL GRAIN AND PRODUCE LINES. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, March 15.

There is still a slabkness in .grain, seed, and produce circles, wheat being the only line that is being handled in large quantities. This line, m fact, has been coming to hand in such quantities as to cause millers difficulty in coning with it. Brewers and other users of bar'l v are using up what they have on hand and are not inclined to buy freely at present. This Iteing the case, it is hard to estimate the value of the line. Other lines of produce .remain as they were at the last week-end. The present low prices are likely to obtain tor some little time to come.
