NEW ZEALAND MARKETS.

From thoN.Z.L. Co's report on the produce maikets of New Zealand, 21&t M.vy, 188 r >, we extract the following :— Wool.— By cable message from our Jjondon office, May 11, we learn that arrival*) to that date have completed the catalogues to which the June series is limited, viz., 3.~>0,000 bales ; it is theiefore woithy of notice that the innovation of holding' Gvo serial auctions in the yeai has not had the effect many persons anticipated ; for it has been again necesbary to apply the protective measure of limitation to the sales. This result has doubtless in n ceit.un mo.isure been brought about because of the laige quantity held o\er or withdrawn from the Mai ch- April senes. Catalogues to band by the Han Franci->c i mail conclusively show the radical change for the belter winch has t.iken place in the market for crosshied wools, and as the majority of our smaller clips are of this description, this improvement will no doubt pi me satisfactory to all interested in the pa*toial piospentv of the colony. Sheepskins. -Auckland : The demand for full-wonlled skins has been steady throughout the month, and rates have been fully maintained.
