WOOL SALES.

SECOND SERIES. f The second of this season's sales of wool « was held yesterday afternoon in the Cham- ] her of Commerce. The sales will be re- ] Burned to-day at 11 a.m. ( FINE AND CO. f Messrs Ptnb and Co. report that al- < though there was a good attendance of 1 buyers, competition was not so keen as was t hoped would bo the case. Bright, light- 1 conditioned half bred, and crossbred wool ' commanded most attention, aod sold at j prices about on a par with those of the 1 November sales, but dingy, heavy-con-ditioned wool of the same description suffered a decline of id per lb. Merino sold at prices about equal to those that have lately ruled. We sold halfbred wool from 7id to 9|d, crossbred from 7d to B|d, loagmool 6d to 7|d, Southdown merino from sid to Gfci, pieces 3v,ii to BJd, looks 2d to 3id. Earthy wool sold in some cases below these ranges. We withdrew a good proportion of our catalogue, as prices did not reach owners’ ideas of of value.

TODHUNTER AND JENNINGS. Messrs Todhunter and Jennings report as under:—The second sale of the season commenced to-day at the Chamber of Commerce rooms, with fairly large catalogues, and a larger attendance of buyers than at the first sale last month. Competition for the best lines of halfbred and crossbred wool was fairly keen up to a certain point. Strong wools were neglected, and merinos very dull. Taking the sales as far as they have gone, five catalogues out of eight having been submitted, we think that values are slightly easier than at the first sale. Choice halfbred, very light in grease, sold from B|d to 10£d, inferior 7i<i to Sd, crossbred from 6sd to Bid, according to quality and condition, merino from 5d to 7d, bellies and pieces 4d to 6d, looks Zd'-JuO 4d per lb. We quitted nearly the whole of our catalogue at fair values. The following are particulars of our saleD, merino, 1 bale at s|d. C X, crossbred, 1 at 6ifd.
