LONDON WOOL SALES. London, November 27.
The wool sales commenced to-day. The buyers held a meeting, when it was resolved to leave the room if the wool-brokers insisted on farthing bids. The Importers Committee met afteiwards, and insisted on farthing bids being received for wool up to iod in value. On the decision being announced, the majority of buyers left their seats, but remained in the room. The auctioneer attempted to sell, but veiy few bids were received. Ultimately he was compelled to discontinue the saleMn consequence of the yelling, hissing and coughing indulged in by some of those present. Further meetings are to be held to-morrow to decide what course shall be taken with respect to bids. The number of bales available is 156,000, including the cargo of the Balmoral Castle.
