Wool Sales.
Telegraph. Press Association. Copyright. Dunedin, January 11 The second wool sale of the season was held to-day. There was a large attendance of Home, colonial and local bnyers. Competition was fairly brisk, but most of tbe wool was purchased by the representatives of the local mills. For merino and fine first cross and half-bred wool there was very keen competition, and althongh they did not show any material advance in values they fully maintained the prices realised at the opening sales. The coarse wools did not meet with so much competition. Nevertheless prices were , quite on a par and in some cases made a slight increase on last sale. Pieces and locks were also in strong demand. Prices ruled as follows : - Super Merino, 8d to 9id; medium, 7d to 7sd ; inferior, 6£dto6:}d; super half-bred, 7£ to Bsd ; medium, 6d to 7d ; inferior, 5d to s|d ; bright crossbred, 53 d to 6d ; otber, 4£d to s_d ; pieces, 4d to 6d ; bellies, 2|d to 4£d ; locks, l^d to 2£d.
