DUNEDIN WOOL SALES
A GOOD CLEARANCE
(By Telegraph.) (Special to the "Evening Post."} DUNEDIN, This Day. In the catalogues at the Dunedin wool sale to be held on Thursday there will be a fair quantity of heavy conditioned wool with a balancing sprinkling of good clips. It is fully expected that prices for the latter will be well maintained. There is no reason to anticipate any marked easing on rates ruling at the sale held here on March 11, as the statistical position for wool is very sound. Growers who held their clips over from the previous years have'accepted the season's values and the result is that in -a fortnight's time the capacious stores in Dunedin will be practically free of wool. So. far this season the New Zealand woollen mills have not taken anything approaching their usual quantities from the Otago district. Last season the local mills purchased 6706 bales, and although a much greater quantity has been offered here in the 1935-36 selling season, the mills have so far taken about 4600^163, although the industry has shown a marked recovery.
