FULLY FIRM
PRICES AT DUNEDIN WOOL SALE. STYLISH HALF-BRED IN DEMAND. AN ADVANCE IN CRUTCHINGS. (Per Press Association.) DUNEDIN, This Day. At the second wool sale to-day prices at the opening were fully firm on those at the first sale, held in December.

Good half-breds brought from 16d to 17-Jd, medium half-breds 14;]d to 15Jd, fine cross-breds 11-Jd to 13d, eross-breds of 46-48 quality Bjd to 9)d for super lines, the average being 7J-cl to 7^d. Pieces and necks elicited keen competition, super lines bringing from 13. J-d to 15d, while other super lines of medium quality realised IOJd to 12)-d. There was a pronounced rise in the rates for orutchings, which advanced by almost a penny a pound.
