AUCKLAND, March 17. The third Auckland wool sale was held to-night, being the best of the season, prices showing from ld to 1M advance on the second sale in F.ebruary. There was a representative bench of buyers and'competition for tbe best clasi.es of wool was vesy keen. Most of the wool went to Bradford and competent judges of wool stated that, consideririg the class offer ed, the sale was one of .the best held in New Zealand this season. Owing to the lateness of the season much of the wool ' was seedy. Practicallv the wbole ; the catalogue of 8000 bales was sold. ! A feature of the sale was the I keenness of the buyers no doubt due 1 to the fact that the New Zealand season is nearing the end and buyers have their quotas to fill.> _ No range of prices is available to-night. • At the next Napier sale there are only 800 bales to be sold. When - this was announced at the sale here to-night, seven buyers said they would go to the sale. but fif1 teen other bqycrs said thev would not go unless the offering exceeded a thousand bales. Mr H. T. Milnes, Chairman of the Woolbuyers' Asso- ■ ciation. stated that the Association • could not stop a sale or prevent 'iiiembers from attending.
