AUCKLAND WOOL SALE.
LBt Telegraph.— Pbkss Association.] AUCKLAND, This Day. The first wool sale of the season is to take place at Auckland Chamber of Commerce to-morrow. A total of 4659 bales is to bo offered. The number of bales catalogued exceeds the total number offered at the corresponding sale of last y-ear. This is the result of the fine weather which prevailed during the shearing season, thus enabling the farmers to get through with shearing operations earlier than usual. The wool is of exceptionally good quality and fairly light in grease. For .some years there has been a yearly improvement noticeable, and the standard of the- fleece to be offered to-morrow is well up to tho average. Using more care -in the selection of rams and also the better get-up of fho wool befoie packing is responsible for the improvement.
