At the Loudon woq! sales 90,000 bales were sold for Home consumption, 47,000 for the Continent, 9,000 for America, and 9,000 were held over. The departure of some of the chief buyers and the diminished American competition caused irregularity this week. Compared with the closing prices of March sales the b«si greasy merinos remained practically unchanged, medium and inferioi Ave per cent, higher till Monday, closing at par to ove per cent, higher. Scoured was in strong request, showing five per cent, advanco. Medium crossbreds suitable for America sometimes declined a halfpenny; fiue ditto unchanged. Top makers' sorts olosed very firm at opening rates, but lost the extreme prices of the middle series. Lambs wool remained unchanged.

Fleece portions of the undermentioned clips realised following prices—Motuna Rakio 13% d, Puketoi 12% d, Okeiae 13J^d.
