Murray, Roberta, and Co. report :—For the final sale of this season we offered' a catalogue consisting of 1204 bales, out of a total of afcout 9000. Fora late sale there were some fairly showy parcols on offer, and these elicited the keenest competition of the day. Bidding was very eager and often excited, being generally well spread. Bradford bought consistently, and Continental buyers bid freely throughout; Germany participating In the bidding on many lots, and Japanese bidding was also In evidence. Lambs' wool and skirtings were in much better demand than at last month's sale, allowing an advance of a halfpenny to tbreefarthings' on the better types of lambs, and up iO'a penny advance on skirtings. Hogget wool was eagerly competed for, especially In stylish lots. Generally speaking, the market today shows an advance of a halfpenny to three-farthings in crossbred wools as compared with March sale. We quitted 82 per cent, of our catalogue under the hammer, having to pass In some lots which carried reserves rather above the market level. Some of our sales are quoted below: —

Levin and Co., Ltd., report:—The fifth' sale of the 1934-35 season was held today. The offering was 9731 bales, towards which we contributed 1075 bales. Tho wool,was largely crossbreds of topmaklng character. The quantity of halfbrods was negligible. Since the sale on March 21, tho sales elsewhere in tho Dominion have shown a strong tone. This neenis to havo followed the announcements of conscription in Germany, lengthened service term iv France, and the general. international

unsottloment which lias ensued. Thcro la an old proverb about "an 111 wind." Whilst not-; Ing the probablo causes, It could lmvo been wished that tlio demand had arisen from ordinary trade Improrcmucnt. Bidding was brisk, and buyers apparently liad ehiatlc limits. Bradford was bidding freoiy, but Franco was securing tho larger proportion of tho offering, followed by other Continental countries. Dominion mills were silent. Tho following advances arc recorded as against March sale :—r Merinos aud halt'brcds, not sufficient to quote; oxtra fino crossbreds, 48/50's, Id to H,4d; fino and medium crossbreds, 44/48's, Id; uoarso crossbreds, 40/44's, Vjd to %d: low crossbrods, 36/40' a, '/<d; hoggots.

Levin and Co.'s realisations were published In "The I'ost" last evening, LOAN AND MERCANTILE. The Now Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company, Ltd., report as follows:— The liftli and final sale for tho uurront season waa hold yesterday, when a total catuloguu of approximately. 9000 bales was submitted, of which our quota was 1800 bales. Thcro was a full and representative bench of buyers eager to purchaso wool, and competition from the commencement to the close of tho sale was keen and at times excited. Continental representatives wore very keen, and Japan was also in the market for suitable lots, but Bradford while also well in tho market did not secure as much as usual. I'rlccs, compared with roccnt sales in the south, can be quoted from a farthing to a halfpenny dearer, but comparing them with values ruling at the previous Wellington sale they can bo quoted a full penny dearer. While thero wore very few super lots yet the offering at yesterday's salo was very much better than is usual at v Dual and cleanlng-up sale for the season. Yesterday's sale brought to a close the 1934-35 season, and while prices have been low practically throughout the season, still it is a matter of hope for the grower that yesterday's sale was tho highest throughout tho season, and engenders the hope that the tido has now turned and the farmer can look forward to better and more payable prices for next season.

FARMERS'I DISTRIBUTING. The New Zealand Farmers' Co-op., pistributing Co report i-Tho fifth and final sale of the season was held today, when a. catalogue of approximately 9000 bales (to whlcb we contributed 1500 bales) was submitted ,t6 a full bench of buyers. The wools generally in our catalogue were very good, Rowing a good percentage of early shorn clips which opened up in good condition and looked quite attractive for an April sale, a. »* at this time of the year are usually of straggler variety and do not open uti attractively, being mostly off colour a fair proportion of seedy wool. Jh« bulk of the fleece wools in our catalogue can be described as a good selection spinners and topmaklng, sorts. The P«ces realised were most satisfactory compared with previous' sales this season, and the . sale throughout was marked by very spirited bidding from the Continental operators with good general support from Bradford, Japan, United States, and Canada. Bradford had to pay prices which were set by the Continental operators, and must be considered as satisfactory (under present market conditions) from growers' and brokers' points of view compared with our March sale. Good style fleece wools' well classed and skirted, we quote from %d to iy>d dearer, average wools %d to Id, while ordinary and inferior wools, unclassed and unskirtod were from par to %d dearer. Lambswool also came In for hotter competition, as there appeared to Ue more inquiry for this class of wool from overseas; buyers anil local scourers had to pay more for their requirements. We quote good average and super Une3 of flne .crossbred lambs from VA to Id dearer and ordinary sorts %& to Id dearer. Southdown , lambs were a Htte difficult of sale and showed a slightly easier tendency. Bellies and pieces sold very well and were taken by France, mostly at prices Vid to Id advance on last sale. Crutchlngs were in very good demand, best sorts appreciating %d to %d on last sale, while ordinary and faulty lines, such as seedy and off colour, Increased in price. %d-to.lftd.

Wright, Stephenson and Co., Ltd., in conjunction with Abraham and Williams, Ltd., report that the Improvement In the market at the last few sales was continued, and if anything accentuated at yesterday's auction. Tho offering was a very small one, a total of only 97!iG bales being catalogued. Tho recent Improved demand is in some measure due to a diminution of raw wool stocks In importing countries, and to a recognition by the trado that the selling season in the producing countries has lately entered on Its final stages, with melting supplies and curtailed offerings. Competition was wide and keen, the result being very full clearances. Bradford buying was animated, and of the Continental sections Franco was tho .most active and bought more freely than for some, time past. Germany, too, gave strong support. Compared with the last Wellington sale, hslfbreda showed an appreciation of %d to Id per pound, medium crossbreds VL-d to %d per pound, whilst coarse crossbreds were up fully Id. Lambs' wool was decidedly firmer. Some of our best prices were:— j

DALGETY AND CO. • DalKCty and Company, Limited, report:— Not for many years past have wo been able to repprt I lint prices at tho final salo of the season stand out. as the highest of the selllnp; year. This happened at yesterday's sale, when keen and excited bidding ruled throughout the auction, Bradford, Franco, and Japan bolng very prominent buyers and making tho pace on all wools suitable for their requirements. At recent sales In the south tho market was very firm, and It was generally anticipated that tho result of tho last sale of. the season at Wellington would record for croasbreds tho highest point prices. of the yoar. Out of a total offering of 9GOO balos wo submitted a most attractive catalogue of 3450 bales and sold 93 per cent. As a rule tlio wools offered at tho last salo of tho season are generally of very ordinary stylo and quality, but, as abpve mentioned, our cataloituo comprised some well-known clips, such as Kuanul, Awhcu, Fornsido, A.T/Parkvalo, JK & S, Erowhon, Papanul, etc., and the results obtained from the auctloiij considering prices ruling previously, were most satisfactory to the sellers. Tho average- per lb and per balo at tho Wellington March sale was 5.71 d and £8 11s 2d respectively, and on an cstlmato wo should say that the April result should give about (i'/d Per lb and £9 17s per bale, a Quito satisfactory appreciation. The offering of halfbreds yesterday was so small that a comparison of prices with March salo Is not justified. The appreciation In super-style crossbreds can be ouoted at from Id to l%d, with mediums %d to Id and inferior %d to %d. At times Inferior crossbreds were Inclined to be a-little erratic, and In some cases last sale's prices were only obtainable. It was evident from the commencement of the sale that super-style wools were going' to be in keen demand, no doubt owing to tho short supply. The competition coming on. these from Japan, Canada, and Bradford-was a satisfactory feature to growers who had such wools to offer. France, as usual, were very k«en bidders on the beßt style bellies and pieces, and they also operated freely on any lots of fine fleeco brought forward. Some of our outstanding prices for the high-class wools offered were:— Fine lioggets, account Mrs. E. G. Elgar, Awnea lOd, Fernslde lOd; M. A. Conway, Fernlea, lOd; Est. H. R. Poolc, Longrldge/P, 9%d; H. J. Nits, Tepuhl, 9%dand 9d; W. McA. Dunran, Ruanul 9%d, and Ercwhon lOd and 9%d; " "There' Is no'doubt that there is a heavy carry-over of crossbred in tlio North Island and also a fairly heavy weight unsold in the South Island, and unless the Improves considerably before the commencement of next, selling.season these held-over wools will not compare favourably with tho newly-shorn clips. It Is difficult to «lye any reason for the sharp rise that has lately taken place for crossbreds, and we'can only hope that the appre--1 elation will not prove to be Just temporary. The demand for lambs' wool as at the prc-r vlous sales was not very keen, only super style lots being inquired for.
