Timaru, last night.
Tho first wool sale of tho season for South Canterbury was held in Timaru to-day, when there was a total catalogue of 3737 bales, being an increaso of 1500 bales on the number catalogued for tho corresponding salo of last year. About a dozen buyers were present, nearly all being colonial buyers. The quality of the wool, on tho whole, was not so good as last year, owing to the dry season, but all bright and clean lots were keenly competed for. Tho highest price obtained was 7Ad per lb for half-bred wool, and average prices were 3[d for crossbreds, 5d for Halfbreds and 6d for merinos.
