WOOL SALES
CROSSBRED LOWER. CHRISTCHURCH, January 24. The second wool sale of the season was held before a large bench of buyers. The full C||uota of 25,000 bales was offered, several thousand bales having to be held over. The wool was in good condition and competition was very keen throughout for fine wools, but crossbred was neglected.

Local woollen mills competed for super lots of the best fine wools. Most of the crossbred wool was passed in in 4d to 5d per lb. Compared with the December sale, super halfbred was par to Rl higher, medium halfbred Id to Ljd higher, and crossbred a shade easier. There was a keen demand for pieces which showed an improvement of Id to Lid. During the forenoon, prices ranged as follows:—Merino 73d to 12;',d ; halfbred old, Corriedale 63 dto 1 Ifd. threequarter bred 42cl to fh]d ; crossbred 3RI to 62d; merino pieces 53 dto 8-R1; half bred pieces 43d to 9jd ; crossbred pieces 31 d to sd; crutchings 2d to 4 Id ; locks 2d to 3d.
