FIRST CHRISTCHURCH WOOL SALE

JAPANESE DOMINATE MARKET

Good Competition From Local Mills

Japanese buying completely dominated the first Christchurch wool sale of the 1936-37 season held in St. James’ Theatre yesterday. Buyers with orders on behalf of Japan lifted the greater part of an attractive catalogue at prices 65 to 75 per cent, above those at the December sale last year. Values were the best since 1929.

Like many sales when high prices rule, yesterday’s fixture was comparatively quiet. Bids came almost with restraint, but the runs from the starting price proved that the buyers were hungry for wool and were prepared to bid up till they secured it Japan bought steadily, and took better class wools of all descriptions. For the super lots there was excellent competition from local mills, and the Continent took a fair quantity of pieces and fleece. There was some buying on behalf of America and Canada, but their requirements were restricted to carpet types and special fleece lines.

Prices have been established so much above present parity outside New Zealand that Bradford buyers ' were quite unable to compete. Several Bradford men. who as a I'ulc have large orders, had no orders at all. and throughout the day Bradford competition was restricted to the small amount of crossbred offered, and to a limited interest in some descriptions of finer wools. The market was completely at the mercy of the Japanese operators, who appeared to have no limits at all. A Strong Market Prices for the lower grades of wool were on a par with those ruling at North Island sales. It is very difficult to compare the December Christchurch fixture with the three North Island sales that have already been •held, because there is little wool offered in the North Island of a similar type to the fine halfbreds and Corriedales that form the greater part of the catalogue here. This difficulty was particularly marked yesterday when the catalogue was almost exclusively made up of halfbred and Corriedale wools, with only occasional lots of crossbred and merino. The catalogue and order of sale were:— Bales. Dalgety and Company. Ltd. .. 7383 „H. Matson and Company .. 2978 •National Mortgage and Agency Company, Ltd. 2741 ,-tN.Z. Farmers’ Co-op. .. 3968 "Pyne, Gould. Guinness, Ltd .. 9035 : K.Z. Loan and Mercantile Agency Company, Ltd. .. .. 2500 Total .. .. 28.610 ;. The total of 28,610 bales was a heavy ' offering. The allocation was originally 27.000 bales, but wool came in so fast that an additional 1500 bales had to be applied for. Practically the whole offering was sold. High Quality Offering A great portion of the wool offered, as is usual at the first sale of the season, was hogget wool, and this year it came forward in excellent shape. It was bright, well grown, light in condition, soft handling, and free from fault of any kind. The ewe wool - offered was the best for some years, and showed clearly that the growing season was most favourable. Like the hogget wool, it was light in condition, but it was well grown, and handled attractively. Bidding started slowly, and remained slow throughout the day, and the sale, which began at 9 a.m., did not finish till 10.30 p.m. From the opening of the first catalogue, it became apparent that Japan was as anxious as ever to get wool, and prices were soon established on a level that must have been discouraging to buyers from other countries. Halfpenny rises in the bidding were frequent, and as frequently a lot which was started off at KM would be knocked clown at 22 or 23d. Two shillings was bettered many times, and a great quantity of the ordinary halfbred wool was sold at more than 20d. Only when the lower qualities of halfbreds and the few crossbreds were put up did bidding become general. For all the super wools, buying resolved itself into a duel between one or two Japanese operators, and representatives of local mills.

A large gallery watched the sale, and obviously was quite satisfied with what it saw.

It is estimated that the average value will be about £25 a bale, compared with £l4 16s lid at the corresponding sale last year. This will give a return of more than £700,000. The total realisation for the whole of last Season was £1,400,000, and for the year before £841,000.
