FIRM TONE HELD

WANGANUI WOOL SALE PRICES ON PAR WITH AUCKLAND Dominion Special Service. Wanganui, February 23. The third Wanganui woo! sale was held in the Opera House to-night. There was a full and ' representative bench of buyers. Prices were excellent, taking the sale right through, and about on a par with the recent Auckland sale, although, taking into consideration the bulk of the wool offered from this district as far as the sale has gone, prices might show a hardening tendency. Bradford is buying the usual weight of wool under strong pressure from the Continent. France was well in the market for all qualities of lambs' wool. New Zealand mills were after all Down wools. There has been a percentage of passings, and it is hard to realise why under present conditions some growers still persist in placing reserves above market values. BROKERS’ REPORTS DALGETY AND CO. Messrs. Dalgety and Co. report as follow: — "Bidding from tho commencement of the sale was animated and exceptionally keen for any parcels of good stylo wool which came forward. From the results of sales lately held at Wellington ami Auckland it was expected that prices would show no depreciation, and such was the case. The firm tone held right to tho last catalogue, and if a heavier offering had been submitted the buying power was on the benches to lift any reasonable weight. Our catalogue of 1900 bales was comprised chiefly of ordinary top-making wools, with a few lines of good to super. The Lismore clip opened up attractively, and the top lines made wonderfully good rates. Germany was well in the market, as a great portion of the catalogue contained wools eminently suitable for their trade. Bradford, as usual, made their presence felt and lifted a heavy weight of the offering. For the few lots of super wools American buyers competed very keenly, and Secured the bulk of such lots. France was interested in lambs and tho best quality pieces, and paid high rates for these. As is usual at a February sale, a good quantity of inferior and medium pieces, bellies, and crutchings was submitted, and brought prices on a par with late Bales, although at times a slight easing was noticeable. Many parcels were heavily seeded, and generally rough. The result of the sale was most satisfactory, and rates for all qualities of fleece and lambs, and considering the quality and condition, pieces were right on a par with the last Auckland sale, which was one of the dearest sales. of the season. It is evident that wool is wanted, and as the offerings are now of small compass. buyers appear anxious to secure as much of the textile as possible. In tho March rounds only two decent-sized catalogues will be submitted, viz., at Wellington and Dunedin, other centres being now almost depleted of supplies. We sold practically our whole offering under tho hammer, and we feel sure erowers will be highly satisfied with their realisations.” _ MURRAY, ROBERTS AND CO.

At the third sale of the season, held to-night, we offered 810 bales to a large attendance of buyers, experiencing an exceptionally keen sale. Prices remained very firm, with a hardening tendency. Competition came from all sections ot the trade, including representatives from Bradford, the Continent, and other consuming centres. The offering of wool was hardly equal to that at the January sale, the standard of many lots showing seed and earth, especially in lambs’ wool. Very little wool was passed in, nearly the whole catalogue being sold at auction. Brands were sold in our catalogue as follow: —Waipu, AA 19d., A 17d„ B 15? d., lambs 21i<L; FSC, A 191 d„ B 17id., down 24Jd„ lambs 191 d-: Waiau, A I'd., B 15Jd., lambs, B 18Jd .

Messrs. Levin and Co., Ltd., report:— Over 10.000 bales were offered by the combined brokers. Again the attendance of buyers was good, and all sections of the trade had their representatives present. We had a representative catalogue of all descriptions of crossbreds, there being quite a number of lots of lambs’ wool. Prices for fleece wool generally, ns compared with the Wanganui January sale, were again in sellers’ favour, and our passings under this heading were practically nil. Lambs’ wool, however, was very irregular, and comprised practically all of our passings. We had some very good lines of black-face and crossbred lambs’ woo l , with a large sprinkling of seedy and very seedy late-shorn bush-country lambs. For average qualities of fine and medium crossbred there was strong competition, and prices advanced fully from z Jd. to Id. For average qualities of low and coarse crossbreds there was strong competition from Bradford and the Continent, and the rise on January was quite a halfpenny per lb. Inferior wools of all qualities also showed a general advance, and were round about a penny better. Pieces and bellies sold at late rates to Jd. Down binned wools under the Balgownie wools brand obtained some of the best prices of tho sale. A Down sold at 25d.; fine crossbred, 46-48, ISJd. and 19Jd.; medium crossbred, 44-46’s, unskirted, 17d. and 17{d.; coarse crossbred, unskirted, 40-4 l’s 17Jd.. 153 d., 15jd.; fine hoggets, unskirted, 48-50’s, and 46-48’s, 22Jd.; and medium hoggets, 44-46’s, 17Jd. These prices were for average wools, inferior ranging lower according to style, seed in most instances being the deciding factor.
