29,000-bale wool sale
Next Friday’s Christchurch [Wool sale will be one of the biggest here this season. According to figures given on Thursday the offering could be of about 29,000 bales. . The season is well advanced and there are not as many better style wools as earlier. But the offering is still considered a very good one for this time of the year and well ahead of some in 1 recent years. The wools are drawn from Mid and North Canterbury, Marlborough, Nelson, the West Coast, and the Chathams, and there is a fairly wide selection of types. Halfbred and Corriedale wools are described as being very well grown, of good ! length, and pretty sound. One firm reports having a , reasonably high proportion of Merino wools. There is also some attractive lambs’ wool, both halfibred and crossbred, but because of the cost it is thought that fewer lambs are being | shorn this season. Some wools are fairly heavy in condition as a result of good feed conditions, but , others are reported to be high I yielding. The order of sale is: Dalgety New Zealand, Ltd, New (Zealand Farmers’ Co-opera-i tive Association, Pyne. Gould, ! Guinness Ltd, and Wright!son NMA. Ltd.
