WOOL SALES
BUYERS AT WELLINGTON OPERATE ON RIGID LIMITS NAPIER RATES MAINTAINED WELLINGTON, Tuesday. The chairman of the Wellington Woolbrokers' Association, Mr. Hammond, remarked on the good attendance of buyers and the general competition at the saies, but buyers obviously were operating on rigid limits. Low crossbreds and inferior wools were more or less neglected, and unfortunately the wool was opened up
in not so attractive a condition as is usual at Wellington. The first sale at this centre has been noted for tbe large percentage of superfine crossbreds offering, but so far this season these qualities have not come into the catalogues. The principal demand was for halfbred, and these wools were slightly dearer, and for crossbreds eonspicuously so. Prices were on a par, as compared with rates ruling at the Napier sale last week. The total wool catalogued was 23,28 bales, but there were heavy withdrawals and frequent passing. Yorkshire and the Continent were keen for wool up to their restricted limits. There was ,a large attendance of the public, with a full bench of biiyers, and prices so far appear to be up to those ruling at Napier.
