WOOL SALE
GOOD SORTS NEGLECTED. LOWER GRADES WANTED. (JJY XKIiKGIiAPH ——PKKRS ASSOCIATION NAPIER, Jan. 14. The third wool sale of the season in Napier was held to-day, when a catalogue of 25,1(39 bales was offered to a large bench of buyers.. Competition was confined almost entirely to Bradford and the Continent, there be-' ing practically •no competition from America, while very few New Zealand mills were able to operate, and local fellmongers were completely out of it. The sale showed that good avools were being neglected for lower grades. Good to super wools, on which bidding was very slack and erratic, were down from Id to lid on the last Napier sale, but as far as the lower grades were concerned, they were from par to a farthing better. Pieces, bellies and necks sold exceptionally well. There was a. good demand for high grade lambs’ wool, for which good prices were obtained, although these were erratic. On the other hand, for second and inferior lambs’ it was very difficult to make a sale.
No official range of prices was avail able to-night.
