The sales in the colony are increasing in importance, and those who have sold have had no great reason to the prices received." $ The number of bales of wool sold in New Zealand for the last three seasons and the average value per bale were:—l9o7, 170,149 bales, worth £ls 10s, a preliminary estimate. For 1906 196,713 bales, £l3 3s6Jd; and for<l9os, 165,711 bales, £l2 Is per bale. The export of wool from Australasia for the year ending 30th June, 1907, was 2*090,231 bales, an increase of 222,442 bales, establishing a record, the highest, J 894-5, being 1,959,811 bales.
