WOOL SALE.
For, the concluding Dunedin sale of the season, being the fourth of tho series, rather over 1,000 bales were offered to-day. The wools for the most part consisted of portions of clips, the bulk of which had been pi''viously offered, and which did net arrive in time for earlier sales; also of stragglers from the hack country stations, and a number of reclassed lots of both fleece and pieces. In point of condition, however, few of tlie lots would compare favorably with the dips offered at the earlier sales, and taking this into account the salo was easily the dearest of the four. Considering the lateness of the season, there was a. record attendance of buyers, and no description of wool was in any way neglected by them. Prices throughout were uniformly dear. Messrs Wright, Stephenson, and Co. 1575 bales), had the bulk of the offerings. They report that the highest price obtained for half-breds was 12|d for two bales of super half-bred from Timaru Station, 11-Jul for three bales of meri’io from Kaikorai run, and for pieces IQ^d.
