The bsyers are firm in their demand for an Offering of 80,000 balesj the brokers are taable, they say, to offer more than 14*900 bales. She wool k already prepared for tsdution to the local stores and ordlnsoty buyers would have been there yarning from early morning to-day, as fcaav as bees round a sugar cask, but between the stacked bales tee JwetSW deserted. A few local g^rThaveteen valuing, but the «^ ££n have been absent} indeed, it is Sported that they are not in Welling. tomT With a big catalogue of, say, M.OOO to 87,000 bales three days would) mbably be required for valuuxg, Sdnfl all the stores in their tour, but H to possible, with a catalogue ofc just £iderls,ooo bales, if an understanding betwMa buyers and brokers is arrived at this quantity could be dealt with in » day and a half. That is to say, if buyers arrived from the South by toMorrow's boat they could start valuing tjflkt away and be ready to do business tar 8 pan. on Thursday, for which time $* M le has been fixed.
