TheContlneot absorbed most, of, the: wool, America competing keenly , for, suitable lots, Bradford looking oil. There was no buying by speculators: ■Competition was'keener than ,was' generally anticipated, bs most growers 'wanted their wool' sold. ■ Many cl(ps showed '.effects of wet winter and backward spring; hogget wool tliifl and tender. Owing to these causes and to a very considerable death rate in hoggets, it Ms anticipated that the North Island clip will be at least 10 per cent, below last year's. Some of the best prices : realised were:— :

, MURRAY, EGBERTS, AND CO. ■ Messrs. Murray, noberfs, and Co report a cataloguo of 1712 bale?; tho .bulk..being now season's clip, a quantity of hold-over wool from last season being also shown. The effect of last winter was apparent in many of tho :new wools, several* parcels being somewhat short .stapled, inclining to. thin quality, and tenderness is prevalent, especially amongst the hoßgcts. l'rinclnal competition came from Continental buyers, Bradford being for the most part a spectator. Fronch representatives wore keenly interested in all lines of good skirtings, some , of which realised exceptionally good figures. All. lots of fleece which, showed the finer qualities and style were keenly competed for, and sold • well abovo expectations. , A few lots lit last year's lamb.s were offered, mostly of low. grade and seudy,. and these found a ready sale, principally with the Continent.' We' submitted u few parcels of sillies, which elicited keeiu competition, and realised, good prices, up to 21 '/id being paid for. a thrue-bale lot of Leicester lambs of good quality and fair length. AvcrHKO lots of crossbred wools sold readily - at round about 12%d to Md. Among individual sales madu from our catalogue -to-tiii.v are. the rolloivliij-:—Wcnircin, Kylands hoggets A.. 17-y t d.
