Colonial Wool Sales.
Encouraged by the success attending last year's sales, the Wellington wool brokers contemplate holding four sales during the approacbing wool season, and the dates fixed are as follows — 17th November, 4th December, 22nd January, and 19th February. The date of the third sale will be * altered, as the day chosen is a public holiday. It will be seen from the figures given below, and which we take from the circular of Messrs Murray, Roberts & Co., that of the four large centres Wellington showed to best advantage in the comparison with previous years in the amount of wool. The figures are as follows : — BALES SOLD. 1895-96 1894-95 1893-94 Christchurch 23,993 22,456 21,434 Dunedin 19,545 19,632 20,776 Auckland 7,145 6,350 7,600 Wellington 5,485 1,800 1,407 —Post.
