WANGANUI WOOL SALES
ANOTHER SATISFACTORY AUCTION [Per United Press Association.] WANGANUI, November 23. Tho first Wanganui wool sale of the season was held to-day, when an offering of just under 10,000 halos was submitted to a full bench_ of buyers representing all sections of tho wool trade. Brices were very satisfactory to tho producers, showing an advance of about ]d to ipl on tho coarse type of cross-bred wool as compared with tho opening Wanganui sale last season. For finer "grades of cross-bred prices wore on a parity with those of Last November, while pieces and bellies, which were in good demand, brought prices from par to Jd lower. Tho official range of prices is as follows. — March 19, Nov. 23, 1928. 1028. d. d. d. d.
Brices generally were up to the first sale of the present season at Wellington, and anything showing fineness was eagerly sought tor. Compared with the recent Wellington sale tho wool offered to-day was of a heavier condition, and, on the whole, not so attractive. In view of these factors the sale may bo viewed as a satisfactory one.
