FINAL WOOL SALE
Bidding at Auckland Proceeds Better Than Expected
CROSSBREDS TOP PRICE lOfd BRADFORD KEEN BUYER (By Telegrapß— Tress Association .) AUCKLAND, To-day. The Auckland final wool sale of the season opened this morning with a catalogue of approximately 12,000 bales, less some withdrawals by farmers who decided at the last minute not to face the sale. ■ These will probably be disappointed, for the sale is proceeding better than was 'expected. A slight firmness was anticipated, but values are from Id to Jd up on the last Auckland sale.
The class of wool offered is on a par w-ith that usually available for the third fixture of the season, which means that a fair proportion is in indifferent condition. . . ...
With two small and one large catalogue completed, the top price for fine crossbreds is 10 Jd per lb. South downs have brought 9Jd and crutehings up to aid.
There is a marked improvement in the demand for lambs’ wool, and a noticeable feature has been the keenness with which the buyers bid up for wools re-classed in the stores. Bidding as a whole is very animated with Bradford securing the bulk of the offering.
