WOOL SALES
PRICES AT WELLINGTON,
POOR LINES NEGLECTED,
(Per Press Association — Copyright.)
WELLINGTON, February 17
The value of crossbred wool, particularly for the coarser counts, showed a further decline at the second sale of the season held here, which opened to-night. Forty per cent, and probably more, of a total offering of 27,000 odd bales will be passed ar. prices ranging from a farthing to three-farthings down on the current values.
The finer wools were at par, but there was not a great deal of this quality offered the catalogue comprising chiefly coarse bush wools. Bradford were the chief operators for fleece wool, with the Continent bidding for some lines. French buyers cook,, most of' the bellies and pieces. After half of the brokers had finished selling, it could be said that the poor wool, unskirted and seedy lines, were neglected. Better class clips and well skirted were on a par with the Napier values. Unpayable prices had to be taken for any superior quality lines, and the sale was of a dragging nature. It is hoped to finish the selling at midnight.
