Dalgety and Co ~ Limited, report : Vt <■ submitted 42921 bales, comprising a number of Dannevirke. Gisborne and Wairoa clips, and also wool from the Pahiatua and Eketahuna districts. Ail the best wools with good length of staple advanced to the extent of Id per lb on prices

obtained at the first sale of the season, while the coarser qualities suitable for Bradford trade were rather easier on the prices ruling in November. Lambs’ wool, especially

if fine and with a fair length of staple, was competed for up to full market values, and prices obtained for pieces were better if anything than at the December sale.

A number of very attractive clips in excellent condition were catalogued, but the bulk of the average wools was not so light as were the earlier shorn wools of our November sale. M<• offered several verv nice lirms of lambs, which met a very strong mark't. As compared with our November sale halfbred and medium to fine crossbreds showed an iverage advance of Id. Coarse sorts were also a shade better. Pieces .on the average, were Id up. The Glen■o? (L. McLean) half bred went up to I2d, which is top price for this season. Other good prices were Ben Lomond (J.
