VERY LITTLE 18 SAID ABOUT THEM PRIOR TO THE SALE. TO MAKE INTERESTING LISTENING FOB WOOLGROWERS, WE WOULD SUGGEST A REPORT ON THE AIB ON THE FOLLOWLINES : •'Buyers are arriving every hour by train, by ear, by aeroplane, oa horseback. The streets are black with them, and it is estimated thero will l>e a record attendance when ike sal* begins this afternoon. Farmers arc also hero in goodly numbers —powerful-look-ing giants, redolent of tha open air and the soil. Oo etery hand dissatisfaction is eipressed an to toe prices they are likely to receive for their wool. An extra policeawn has been drafted into the town in ease the dissatisfaction should lead to riot. The hotel list* show that there are already eightysix visitors here, and of the to about one-third a*t* the appearance of buyers. The amount vfwnt in hotel bills is £319 3s lid, which it 2a 9d more than at the same hour a year age~-a hopeful augury oi returning prosperity, "Groat amusement was caused by a wellknown pastoralist who remarked, with reference to current valeus that he might as well ptty for nothing as -work for nothing—-i joke which will lose, nothing by repetition. II is thought this may have a stimulating effect on the safe, as buyers now realise that they will not be allowed to havo everything their own way.

Tho remainder of his speech «»t Inadvertently interrupted bt the auctioneer knocking tho table with his hammer and calling for attention. Th« scene in the sale room was memorable —the rows of tense faces, the trembling hands clutching their catalogues, tho Mayor with his chain of office- and his tnace bearer retiring with civic dignity. Then a voice shouted • bid. The sale had commenced. Lot after lot was knocked down, while a group yi fanners barracked continually, each complaining that bis particular wool, though better than ale neighbour's, had fetched less money. Al times the situation appeared ugly, but the auctioneer displayed raro tact, and waved hi* hammer good-naturedly at tho interrupters.' ' TOUR CLIP AND ITS ULTIMATE DESTINATION.
