THE WOOL MARKET.
SALES AT WELLINGTON. CONTINENTAL ACTIVITY. B> Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. At the wool sales to-day 10,700 bales were offered and approximately 95 per cent. sold. Prices, compared with the July rates, ranged from par to a little better. A marked feature was the Continental activity, and America was also a competitor for lines suitable for that market. Bradford was busy at a price, but local woollen mills were inactive. Lambs’ wool was not in demand, and prices were decidedly easier. Extra and superfine crossbred wools were better atl round, but the demand was mainly for medium to cbarse crossbreds. Bellies and pieces were down a halfpenny compared with the July rates, and crutchings brought fair rates. The following prices were ruling today:—Southdown 9£d to 10d; half-bred! medium to good, 7d to Sd, inferior s|d to 6Jd; crossbred (48-50) s{d to 7d, (46-4'B) 4%d to 52d, (44-46) 4Jd to s.}d, (40-44) 3id to 4£d, (36-40) 3d to 3%d; inferior dingy and seedy 2d to 3d; hog. gets, all descriptions, to 5.? d; lambs’, fine, o’/nd to 73d: medium. 4d to s&d; inferior, Id to IJd; Southdbwn, 6d to 7d; bellies and pieces, crossbred, Id to 3d; locks, %d to 14d; crutchings, 2d to 3fd; seedy, |d to Ud.
