We invite the particular attention of the flock masters of the province to the following remarks in the circular of Mr. Henry P, Hughes, Wool Broker, of Basinghnll Lane, London;—. "Some flocks of New Zealand Wool shew an improvement in quality and condition, and that greater attention has been paid in assorting, still there are many in had condition, packed irregularly,and mixed with greasy fleeces. This continues to he a serious drawhack to the sale, and, until ohviated, buyers cannot purchase with any confidence. All flocks light and with any length of staple realized their market value.1'
