(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, January 17 Wool submitted to the second ap- - pi-aisal under the British Government's : purchase, held in Auckland from December 2f7, to. December 29, was valued at £328,745, according to the official return of the Auckland Woolbrokers' Association. The number of bales ap- - praised was 19,294, of a net weight . of 6,767,0771b. The average price realised for the wool was £17 0s 9d a .bale, and 11.66 d a lb. So far in Auckland this season ' 40,939 bales have been appraised at a ■ total value of £701,948. Wool is already coming forward well for the next appraisal, which is likely to be held shortly, and on present indi^ - cations it appears that the -, season's cheque for Auckland will easily ex- - ceed that of the past two seasons, ' which totalled £1,061,743 and '£1,031,483 respectively, and be second only to the record realisation of £1,528,545 in 1936-37. ,
