NAPIER WOOL SALE.
The second wool sale of the season was held on Tuesday, when a record catalogue of 13,698 bales was offered. A very large proportion of this was coarse crossbred, so that for wool of this description there was not the same animated bidding as at the previous sale, but pricas all round were about the same. For the rougher sorts prices were a shade higher than last sale, and for fine halfbred wools tebre was a keen demand and prices were a shade higher than at the December sale." The following is the range of prices:—Fine halfbred, up to l2d; fine crossbreds, 9d to llfd; medium crossbred, from 7£d to B£d (clean bright lots up tP lid) ; coarse crossbreds, 5Jd to 7Jd. Lambs ranged from 5Jd for inferior up to BJd for the better grades.
