VALUES DOWN
FINE AND MEDIUM WOOLS AT NAPIER
LITTLE CHANGE IN PRICES FOR COARSE GRADES.
KEEN COMPETITION WITHIN LIMITS.
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
NAPIER. This Day.
There was an offering of 27,000 bales at the second wool sale of the Napier series. The sale opened with a fine bench of buyers. The quality of the wool was not quite up to that at the last sale. Values are down for medium and finer sorts by nearly one penny. Really coarse wools are about on a par.
The best sale of the day was that of a line of Lincoln-cross wool, sold on account of a Central Hawke’s Bay farmer. at twelve pence three farthings. The best price paid, for Romney crossbred fleeces during the first catalogue was 12Jd. Competition from Bradford and from Continental buyers was keen within reduced limits, except for coarse lots, for which the limits were quite elastic. The sale was a fast one. The first 563 lots were disposed of in an hour.
