WINTER SALE AT AUCKLAND. KEEN COMPETITION. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND. August 1. An average bench of buyers, representing Bradford, Continental. American. and local mills, competed keenly, but frequently failed to roach sellers' reserves, at the Auckland winter wool sale today, when 2350 bales of oddments and crutchings were offered. Nearly half the offerings were passed in unsold.

Fleece wools showed a rise of about 2Jd on the January sale, while lambs' wool, finer crutchings, locks, and pieces, sold at improved prices. Heavy-conditioned and seedy crutchings were neglected.
Fleece wool sold at up to llAd, lambs’ wool in good condition 9 : ;d to best crutchings 8d to BJd, exceptional crutchings 91c!. locks and pieces, s!d to 7d.
