NAPIER WOOL SALES.
GOOD PRICES REALISED. KEEN COMPETITION. By Press Association. NAPIER, December 1. The first wool sale of the season was held to-day when over 6,700 bales were offered. There was a large attendance of buyers from America, England, Continent and southern and local mills. A feature of the sale was the keen competition for all lots of woo? suitable for the American market, and for best qualities of fine crossbreds, prices ranging from lOd to J2Jd.
