WELLINGTON WOOL SALES

Messrs Dalgety and Company, Ltd., report aa follows: We held our second wool sale of the season on Friday, when we offered a catalogue ef 4,195 bales out of a t)tal cata logue of 11,050 bales aa compared >"ith 3,150 bales out of a total of 7,500 offered by us at the corresponding sale of last year. The wool opened up exceptionally bright and attractive, and with few exceptions was sound and well grown. The one fea ture of the sale was the keen demand for the United States, American buyers operating on all qualities possessing the requisite qualifications for that market, namely lightness in condition, well grown, staple ana carefully skirted. For wools not suitable for America there was keen competition among buyers from Bradford, the Continent, and for local : requirements. Our catalogue, which consisted of 4,1 bales, comprised a very good selection, including clips from practically all over the Wellington, Marlborough, Wanganui and Manawatu districts.
