CANTERBURY WOOL SALES.

Miens H. Matsok asp Co. report upon their aecond Hie of the 18W-IFB7 clip as follow* :—.he hope inspired by the sudd<-n rise in the -rain* of the main staple of oar production—wool, c&awd nattering* in the minds of many, not done the producer direct, bat every iudividual felt a soaroe of relief in the fact r>«t "wool was up.'- but the embc cablegram* of Ute hsvetn a mearare marred theae hopes. We res* in o« r virtooo* dailies spa*modc cablegrams "Oint (hit i« this and this is that," the greatest cofusion confounded it has erer been the lot if a sheep farmer to experience. If the enthusiastic wire - pa'lers of adverse •* favorab'e i>ews would only adopt a more «imp]e method of working their wires, and not ere ite in the mind of the man at a distance a feelio* of ambicn'eenese. tbev would confer a Messina: npoo the public. If they would quote fair intelligent values for the several wellknown kinds of < jtnterbniy or New Zealand wonU, so that we may distinctly understand that the rise on croaabred ho<net ia co much, or the drop on merino combing , i* m> much, that turnipy cro*sbreds are so a*«l air, then onr producer would know how to act; but at present he is led oat Jβ, darkness, and blindfolded is told to find* his way. We will willingly subscribe oar quota to obtsxn independent, intelligent i from England upoa this quention, pro* Tided we tare a t -ice in the selecti n of thoee who are appointed to send information The chief object o< the prcvlncer in this colony is to reilin the colony, and thn« end his risk.
