WANGANUI SALE.

(BI TELBQRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.). WANGANUI, 29th November

At the wool sales, 9000 bales were submitted to a full and representative bench of buyers. Competition was general, and the sound rates ruling at Wellington generally maintained when the quality and condition off the wool were taken into account. A good quantity of old wool was offered. 1 ' This opened up with rather a stale appearance' and compared unfavourably with the new/dip. America bid freely for most of the good wools. Bradford were keen operators up to their limits, and a large quantity of the offering was taken for their trade. Only a 1 small quantity of lambs' wool was catalogued, good lines selling freely.
