WOOL SALES. CHRISTCHTJRCH, Nov. 19. The first wool sale of the seasom was held to-day. There was a large attendance of buyers. Catalogues comprised 4676 bales and the bulk of the wool came forward in fair condition. Bidding was somewhat irregular, though the sale generally speaking was satisfactory. Trices realised, though marking a district advance on those ruling at last year's opening sale were considerably disappointing in some quarters, but this was probably due to the fact that the latest English reports are reassuring and London sales not due till next week. Halfbreds and merinos were scarcer than usual and "brought keen competition, mainly from the factories. Top prices for merino, lOd per lb. Prices ranged ae follows: —Greasy merino super, 3 Od; medium to good, BJd to 9Jd ; infer/or, 7'd to 8d ; haUVjbJred super, BJd to 9fd ; medium, 7}d to 8 id ; inferior, 6Jd to 7id ; crossbred super 7d to 8d ; medium, ©Jd to 7Jd ; inferior, 5Jd to 6 Jd ; long wool' super, 6Jd to 7id ; inferior, SJ-d to OJd; pieces and bellies, good, 5d to "Jd ; inferior, 3J<i to 4fd ; locks, 3 jd to 4*d.
