We. had hoped that- the decisive drop in thei: price of .wool(that occurred at Auckland ,la,st. week -was 'Su'e 1 . to .local rather than, general causes.. It apr pears now, that the buyers have put their heads together to force down prices, for at the Napier sale yesterday there, was a drop of Id to 2d, in sympathy with the Auckland sale. It is impossible to believe that the buyers have been influenced by the London nmrketSj which fir,m., and likely to improve early in The year.. The bnJy:.possible construction to. be, placed upon ■ the fall is the professed timidity -of the buyers over the industrial cris-ia, and the remote contingency of the wool shipments being held .up. The farmers should face the. position boldly, and refuse to sell af'the prices offered, which are much below the market rates\' If itXey cannot get & fair price locally, they will have no option but to tsj.ke the risk and consign.
