RABBITSKIN SALE.

PRICES AT WELLINGTON

The third rabbitskin sale of the season was held on Wednesday. A large offering of all grades was submitted to a full bench of buyers, representing the principal furselling houses in New Zealand, furriers and exporters. The catalogues contained some nice lines of winter skins, ■which were eagerly competed for, and realised excellent prices. The brokers comment that the prospects for good -winter sorts in the future sales appear good, as this grade of skin is in short supply.

The following is the range of prices:—Kunners and suckers, 21d to 35d; light racks, 42d to 44% d; heavy racks, 32d to 34d; 'summers, 30d to 31d; dawny autumns, 44d to 44% d: early autumns, 50% d to 5494 d; late autumns, to 66Vid; incoming -winters, 66% d to 68% d; early winters, 72 3 /i>d to 90& d; early winter does, 94d to 96d; prime bucks, 92d to 100% d; prime does, 120 d; first bucks, 84) id to 93d; first does, 101 d to winters, 56% d to 83d; early winters and winter blacks, to 83d; autumn and incoming blacks, 64d to 70d.
