Sydney, January B,— The wool sales, which have been resumed, are animated. There is a strong demand for good sorts, and though there is no quotable advance on the prices ruling at the close of last year there is a tendency in sellers' favor. Messrs. Stronarh, Morris, and Co. report :— Rabbitakins.— Owing to the wool season sales are held somewhat irregularly, and we held our rabbitskin sale on Friday last.- Prices, however, are still satisfactory, as the following quotations will show : Spring bucks, 14d ; spring does to lO^d ; winter bucks to 16d; winter does to 19|d ; and blacks to 26£ d. Sheepskins.— This sale was held yesterday, when competition was keen and prices were maintained. Butchers' pelts sold up to 2s 8d and lambskins tV2s 7d. Hides ,~Wfc offered a fair sized catalogue at our sale to-day, bidding being spirited and prices quite up to those lately ruling. Our top price for ox hides was 7h|d, and for cow hides s|d. We can confidently recommend consignments being sent in at present,
