DUNEDIN WOOL SALE
INVERCARGILL PRICES MAINTAINED
DROP FROM DECEMBER RATES.
AUCTION OPENS BRISKLY.
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) DUNEDIN, This Day
The second Dunedin wool sale of the season, at which 27,303 bales were offered. opened briskly, 400 lots being disposed of in 55 minutes. Competition was keen. Local mills and French buyers were active, the latter seeking crossbreds and the former superfine grades. The local demand was stimulated through the Government's assurance that the importation of overseas woollen goods would be restricted. Prices were firm on Invercargill rates on Friday, but under the rates obtained in Dunedin in December.
The top price for the first catalogue was 15.1 d, obtained twice for a line of super Merino and a line of fine quar-ter-bred. Passings were few.
