WOOL JUMPS TWOPENCE
CHIEF SUPPORT FROM CONTINENT [Per Uxited Press Association.] _ WELLINGTON, November 14. It is difficult to give tho reason, but tho price of wool to-day rose fully 2d a pound over that for last March for the BVellingtou sale. The support came chiefly from the Continent. Bradford bought wool, but sparingly, and the opinion of some buyers for that market is that prices were far too high for it to make its usual weight fully felt. There was a full bench, and the keenest competition was displayed. Just over 9,000 bales-were offered, very well grown, and with Jess waddy, though a trifle heavier in grease, 'than a year ago. America procured some of tho better conditioned and more stylish of wools, Australia was a valuable buyer- foxwools suitable to the manufacturer there, France strongly competed for fleece wools, and Germany bought heavily.
