WELLINGTON WOOL SALES.
By Telegraph—Press Association. WELLINGTON, November 15. The first wool sale of the season was held here to-day. There were about forty buyers present. Bidding was not animated, and prices were on the average from Id to IJd less than at the opening sale of last season, in sympathy with the decline in London. Good crossbred, however, realised within a farthing of the best price realised last November. Many lots were passed in, offers not reaching the owners' ideas of value. The catalogue comprised 1,700 bales. The condition generally was good. Prices] ranged "as follows: —Super half bred lid to 11 Jd, medium half bred lOd to 10£ d, inferior 9Jd to 9fd, super crossbred 9jjtd to 10d. medium 8&d to 9Jd, inferior 7d to Sid, bellies and pieces 6d to BJd, stained pieces and locks 3d to 4d, dead 53d to 7Jd, crutchings 4£d to 6d.
