Wool. — Our advices received via California, under date of 3lst May, say :—: — " The second series of public sales of colonial wool for the current year com-, induced on the 13th ult., and closed on the 16th instant. There has been throughout a very good attendance of noth home and Continental buyers, and the latter operated to an unexpected extent, taking altogether about 60 per cent, of the quantity sold. Prices showed a hardening tendency from the opening to the middle, since when there has been, a slight reaction, sales, however, closing with spirit at full average rates of the series. The small instalment of New Zealand wool received compares favourably with last year's growth. Greasy has ihown the same advance as that description from other parts. AU deep grown fleece and scoured have improved Id to L|d per lb, whilst middle and poor parcels have likewise shown considerable improvement on last sales prices.
