THE WOOL SALES.
♦■ Messrs Dalgety and Co. have received the following cablegram from their head office, dated London, 10th inst. : " Wool sales closed fairly animated, but lately-reported rates are hardly maintained. Out of the 199,000 bales available 67,000 bales have been sold for home consumption, 90,000 bales for the Continent, and 22,000 bale 3 for America, leaving 20,000 bales to be carried forward to next sales. Compared with closing rates of last sales greasy merino, good combing fleece and pieces, are 5 to 8 per cent, higher ; greasy merino, medium and inferior fleece, par to 5 per cent, higher; cross-breds, par to 5 per cent, higher ; good Ecoured wools, a change, if any, is in favor of sellers; medium and inferior scoured wools, 5 per cent, higher."
