Invercargill Wool Steady

(New Zealand Press Association) INVERCARGILL, February 4. Compared with the first day of the fifth main Invercargill wool sale on Monday, the second day’s market today for all types remained unchanged, says the official report.

The offering of 20,103 bales was 65 per cent ewe fleece, 5.5 per cent shorn hoggets, 4 per cent lambs’ wool, and the balance the usual oddments.

support from the United States and Bradford. . The following is the official range of prices:— c. c.
