The second Napier wool sales of the current season concluded to-night, the bulk of the catalogue of 28,377 bales being quitted under the hammer. Passings were possibly not more than 10 per cent. Buying was again restricted to comparatively few, but occasionally competition was a little more brisk than on the opening night. Prices, however, continued to rule on a level about the same as those offered the night before, the average decline on rates ruling at the previous Napier sale being up to 2d a pound. Compared with the last Auckland sale the decline was about a half-penny greater. The bulk of the wool offered was later shorn than that offered in November, and is naturally - carrying considerably more condition, which was shown in the prices realised. Easier prices were anticipated, but people generally were hardly prepared for the drop that took place. Vendors met the market, resulting, as already stated, in a fairly good clearance. American competition was very slack. Bedford took a large portion of the offering, and Continental buyers were fairly active for wools suited to their requirements. Bearing in mind the heavier condition of the wool and the easing of the London market, it is considered the prices ruling are satisfactory. No official range of prices -was available tonight.
