MASTERTON WOOL, SKIN AND HIDE SALES.

Messrs Levin and 1 Co., Ltd., report as follows:—We held our monthly sale of wool, skins, hides and tallow, yesterday, offering a quantity of bale and bag wool, and 1,500 sheepskins, 100 hides and a fair lot of tallow. There was the usual good attendance of buyers, and considering the lower condition of the Home markets prices realised were on a satisfactory level. The first lot of this season's crutchings were offered yesterday, and realised 6Jd for good quality. This is considerably lower than the opening price for last year's crutchings, but as this class of wool realises very badly on the Engilsh markets it is impossible to expect anything like last year's local prices to be repeated here this season. We quote:— Wool: Medium crossbred 7d to Bd, dead 7d to 7fd, pieces and bellies to 6d. locks 3sd to 4£d. Skins: Woolly crossbreds B|d to BJd, half and quarter woolly 8d to B£d, pelts and short wools 7d to 7£d, dead skins s£d to 7d, lamb skins 8d to B£d. Hides: The market is weak, a'id lower prices ruled in sympathy with hide markets generally. We quote:— Medium cow and ox 5d and to 5Jd, cut and inferior cow and ox 4d to 4Jd, calf skins 3d to 6fd, stag and bull hides 3d to 4d. Tallow: Casks 20s to 24s 6d, tins 17s to 21s, rough fat 14s.
