WOOL SALES.

RANGE OF PRICES AT AVANGANUI

(BY TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION. 1 ■WANGANUI, Nov. 24. The first of the local wool sales was held to-day) when 11,000 bales were offered. The’.selection of wool was only an average one and included a fair proportion of wool held over from the pieyious season. Owing to bad weather, this season’s clip is not nearly so well grown. . It :is difficult to compare prices with recent sales as the wools offered aio of distinctly different type, but it seems that the market is firm at the level of values established. All were grown wools in good demand and met with keen competition. The bulk of the offering was disposed of to Continental houses, with good support from Bradford operators. America purchased very little, as the offering was hardly suitable to her requirements. THE RANGE OF PRICES. Following .is the range of prices :
