DEMAND FOR GOOD WOOLS
CHRISTCHURCH SALE Press Association CHRISTCHURCH, Friday. The fourth wool sale of the season in Christchurch was held to-day, when 13,190 bales were offered.

Bidding was keen for good wools, but irregular for inferior fleeces and nieces. Competition was general, the bulk of offerings being taken by Bradford and the Continent. The official range of prices was as follows:
