The Wool Market.
« (Per Press Association.) Melbourne, Sept. 27. The wool sales opened with a record attendance, and the competition was very keen. There were 14,000 bales offered, all of which were sold. The better classes of wool showed an advance of Id to ljcl upon last year's opening prices. Faulty and inferior pieces and locks sold higher, but the advance was less pronounced. Crossbreds realised up to 8d for superior ; light-con-ditioned and ordinary lots, 6d to yd. The selection of lambs-wool was poor, and caused a tendency to drag, but the prices were equal to those of last year. Foreign buyers wers largely represented and showed a strong desire to operate.
