WOOL VALUES FIRM
TIMARU MAINTAINS NORTHERN LEVELS JAPAN DOMINATES MARKET [Per Ukited Press Association.! TIMARU, December IS. The first wool sale of tho 1936-37 season for Timaru was held to-day before a full bench of buyers. There was a total offering of 18,076 bales. This was the largest first-of-season sale held in Timaru for some years, and prices exceeded expectations. Fleece wools were firm on Christchurch, bub prices were a shade dearer. A feature of the sale was the keen competition for all lots offered, the dominant factor being the buying power from Japan, with Now Zealand mills operating keenly for super, lots of all grades.
