DUNEDIN WOOL SALE
KEEN COMPETITION [PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.] DUNEDIN, Feb. S’. The second wool sale, at which 27,303 bales were offered, opened briskly, 400 lots being disposed of in 55 minutes. Competition was keen, local mills and French buyers being active, the latter seeking crossbreds and the former superfine grades-. The local demand was stimulated through the Government's assurance that the importation of overseas woollen goods would be restricted. Prices -were firm on the Invercargill rates on Friday, but were under the rates obtained in Dunedin in December. Top price for the first catalogue was 15.R1, obtained twice for a line of super merino and a line of fine quarterbred. Passings were few.
