NAPIER, Jan. 16
The second wool sale of the season commenced at Napier to-night, when out of a total catalogue of 25,085 bales, 15,282 were offered, the remainder being auctioned to-morrow. Prices show a decline of |d per lb. on Wellington, .and up to a penny on the last sale in Napier early in December. Special lots of fleece wools were tiie only lots to tempt buyers, and even these did not realise prices anything approaching those that they would have twelve months ago. Bellies and pieces also sold comparatively well. The wool was by no means of good quality, as a result of the wet season experienced, being dirty for the most part, and presenting an unattractive appearance. There was a full bench of buyers. Bradford operating fairly freely.
