NORTH OTAGO WOOL
OAMARU APPRAISAL RANGE OF VALUES (Pin- Press Association.) OAMARU, this day. The first wool appraisal at Oamaru took place on Saturday last, when a catalogue comprising approximately 4000 bales was submitted. The greater proportion represented farmers’ clips, with a proportion of early-shorn station wool. Notwithstanding the severity of tire winter in the back country, the wool opened up in good condition. Although slightly shorty in staple, there was little break in it, but it was lighter in yoke than usual. Low country clips came forward in good condition. Satisfactory values were realised for all descriptions. The range of prices is as follows: —
Coarse crossbred .... 10 to 103 Hogget wool, necks, bellies, pieces and crutchings all sold at equally satisfactory prices.
d. d. Fine halfbred — Super 15.1 to 16? Average 13 to 15 Inferior 12 to 12? Medium halfbred — Super 151 to 16? Average 14* to 15? Inferior 12.? to 131 Fine crossbred— Super 14 to 15?
