Wool was represented by odd lots of stragglers’ wool. The catalogue comprised 1677 hales, and the disposal served to clear the decks for the incoming clip. There was a very bright sale, and to all appearances there is nothing in the present wool position to cause any misgivings as to the maintenance of recent values. Only an odd lot or two was passed.
