SYDNEY WOOL SALES. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. Australian and N.Z. Press Association. SYDNEY! - , December 8. (Received December 9, at 1.20 a.m.) The wool sales were resumed to-day. There was keen competition in all sections, and a strong market ruled for good descriptions of merino. Faulty descriptions of both merino and cross-bred were slightly irregular. Lambs’ wool was in strong demand. Greasy merino sold up to 45id. ______ GRAIN AND PRODUCE. Donald Reid and Co., Ltd., report: Oats.—There is little to report. Forward sales have been made with now season’s oats at prices much below those now ruling. Farmers holding small lines would bo wise to forward and sell before tho threshing of the new crop commences. Wheat.—There is always a demand for good whole fowl wheat, and values arc continually advancing. YY r o quote per bushel (sacks extra) tor first-class quality. Chaff.—Tho supply is more than equal to the demand. There is plenty of green feed available, and ’the ever-increasing motor traffic makes chaff selling ajiard proposition at this time of the year. There is plenty in store, and the odd trucks that are arrivin'-* arc not meeting with much demand. We quote £B, ex truck, for prime quality only ; other grades are -unsaleable. Potatoes.—New ones are arriving very freely on tho market, and inquiries for old ones aro very isolated. A line or two from Die north" have been offered, but there are no buyers. Messrs Dalgety and Company, Ltd., report as follows: — Oats.— Business in this market is at a standstill, and buyers arc not showing; any interest in the few samples offering. Wheat.—Stocks of fowl wheat are very low, and there is a good inquiry for good whole quality at up to 8s per bushel, sacks extra. Potatoes.—Tho season for old potatoes has practically finished, and vendors have to accept reduced prices for their consignments. Chaff. —The market is over-supplied, and owing to the poor demand consignments arriving have to ho taken into store. Prime quality is worth up to £8 per ton, sacks extra.
