ALMOST ALL LOTS CLEARED.

— I> AT ADVANCED PRICES. jy ——— I r ALL ROUND COMPETITION. "Exceedingly satisfactory"' must be ( the verdict on tlie second Auckland , wool sale of the season held last night ■ > in Scots' Hall. Prices were expected t to show an advance over those registered ! at the first sale in November, but ; brokers were agreeably surprised at the extent of the increase. From the open- ' ing of the sale keen competition was s displayed, and this was not confined ' to special interests but was well dis- [ A tributed. As the various catalogues '; were proceeded with this eagerness to j buy continued, and an almost complete jl clearance was effected. |l Cables for some time past have indi- i cated that Bradford firms have been •. chary of paying the j>rices that wool l has been bringing in the various wool 1 selling centres. They claim that profit- ! able manufacturing cannot be carried ■' on at the ruling values, and it was re- \ cently reported that they purposed ; holding off the market. Evidently they ; have been forced to revise their opinion I for last night their representatives were , keen bidders and secured the bulk of ] the offering, although to do so they liatL ] to pay higher rates than have so far ■ been paid this season. French and German buyers were also in evidence throughout the sale. The former were ; particularly anxious to secure the various lots of lambs' wool and were pre- ', pared to go to extreme limits for the privilege. j Compared with the November sale medium crossbred showed an advance of from Ad to Id per lb, but in other lines the increase ranged from Id to 2Ad. The highest price was per lb, for eight bales of halfbred merino ewe, branded Waiti. It was quite evident that if the Wool Committee had been ( willing to increase the allotment the whole of the wool at present in store ' could have been disposed of at satisfactory prices. I The original arrangements provided ' for an adjournment last evening and a fresh commencement this morning, but in view of the Royal visit the buyers j decided to carry on without a break, . and the sale was concluded at 1 o'clock j this morning. Their action was speci- i ally appreciated by the staffs of the j various, wool brokers, who were thus | enabled to see the various celebrations. Some of the Clips.
