Dunedin, March 0

The third wool sale ot the season, which opened last evening, continued to-day. The offering by tlie associated brokers totalled 26,782 bales. There was a full bench of buyers, Bradford, America, France and Ger- , , many bejng represented. The bidding throughout the series was generally animated, although at, interval*? it was noticeable as the sale progressed Hint competition liecame a little erratic? The quality of the wool for a late season sale was fairly good, but the quantity of wools of outstanding merit was small. Compared with January sale, prices showed fin increase a general incease of a full penny upon the better qualifies and for medium quality a halfpenny to a penny. Competition for pieces was generally good, but it is doubtful if they appreciated to any great extent compared with the last sale’s rates.

The bulk of the wool was purchased on account of Bradford, but Continental buyers were operating freely for wools suitable for their requirements. America purchased a fair quantity of the better and light conditioned wools, which is characteristic of their requirements.
