The first wool sale of the season's series was held to-day, when between SOOO and 9000 bales were offered. There was a large attendance of local aud Home buyers. The wool is in much better condition than that of last year, being cleaner and brighter, but light in grease. There was spirited competition for merino and half-bred wools, the former showing an advance of 4d to 5d per lb, the latter an advance of 3d to 4d per lb over last season's prices. Coarse wools were about _d to Id better. Greasy half-bred sold up to ll_d, and one lot to 12fd; merino to 1/; and fine cross-bred to lOd. The, sale during the forenoon, was-very successful, only a few bales being passed.
