BROKERS’ REPORTS.

LEVIN AND CO., LTD.

’ Levin and Co., Ltd., roportCatalogues totalling approximately 20,000 bales were submitted to a full bench, of buyers. To tho abovo offering wo contributed 5540 bales, consisting ..mostly of crossbreds from tho Wairarapa .and Manawatu districts, with a small percentage of halfbreds. We sold 90 per cent, under tho hammer. Bidding was well spread and animated with a good tone prevailing throughout. The wool opened up disappointingly, particularly the Wairarapa clips, due, no doubt, to the indifferent seasonal -conditions experienced through the winter, there being practically no body in the pastures right up until the time shearing commenced. Many parcels of hogget ■ wool which are normally super lots, although fairly attractive, were affected by tenderness, which in hogget wool is very detrimonlal. Exoollcnt competition was forthcoming for stylish lots of wool, special attention being paid to fine and medium preparing wools (wools of good length and sound staple). These lots were few and far between, and consequently , brought outstanding prices. As much as 133 d was paid for such wools. Lower and inferior grades also met with- good competition. Tho bulk of the offering was taken by the Continent, with the Australian and Dominion mills operating for wools suitable for their requirements.. . Bradford were buying moderately. Japan and America apparently were still inaetivo;; the former’s position at the moment regarding their purchasing power leaves us very much in the air. Should ytheir troubles with China bo • protracted, their financial position must surely be affected, and we therefore cannot' look forward with any certainty for their re-entry into tho market in the near future. Nevertheless, tho consensus of opinion is that the Now Year will see them in operation again. This may. also apply to Ariierican competition. Prices at to-day’s sale were 4d to 6d below the .opening sale of last year, but compared with the . December, 1935, sale, wo are still Id to 2d above the prices ruling at. that time.

The New Zealand Farmers’ Co-opera-tive Distributing Co., Ltd., report: We offered a atalogue of 3294 bales to a full and representative bench' of buyers. Continental buyers were all operating freely,, and limited competition was experienced from Bradford buyers. The wool generally was light in condition and many of the hoggets were slightly tender, but all hogget wool met with spirited competition. Lambs’ wool was keenly sought, and realised exceptionally high prices. On the low levels recently established, the sale must be considered very satisfactory, and the prices realised showed a firming tendency on the Auckland and Napier sales. We disposed of 90 per cent, of our catalogue at auction. The following is a range of prices realised in our catalogue: d. d.

Dalgety and Co., Ltd., report:—Our catalogue of 3275 bales comprised wools drawn chiefly from the Wairarapa and Manawatu districts with a percentage of Marlborough and Nelson clips. From the outset it • was apparent that a stronger tone, prevailed and prices advanced on previous sales to the extent of 3d to 3d per lb, topmaking crossbred wools especially meeting with a much better demand. Growers met the market freely and withdrawals, were comparatively small. Tho Continent continued to bo the principal operators, while Bradford gave strong support and local mills competed stronglyfor linos suitable to their trade. The top price for Romney wool was obtained by tho well-bred Fcrnlea clip grown by Mr M. A. Conway, of Cheltenham, which realised 14d for tho ewe wool and 13jd for hoggets, while the ewes of the “To Marama” stud sold to 133 d. Pride of placo for hogget wool- was shared by tho wellknown Branscombc , and Enstry clips, which sold at 133 d. Local mills took the small amount of Merino offering at 13d for tho Hillorsdon clip , from Marlborough, and from the same district halfbrod realised 133 d for “Wantwood” and 133 d for B and W-Pelorus and C in diamond. There was. very little lambs’ wool offered and this 'ifict with strong demand;" realising 133 d for five bales branded Mangatau. Sales by' Dalgety and Co. of interest to the Manawatu district appeared in tho second edition of the “Standard” yesterday. •

N.Z. LOAN AND MERCANTILE

AGENCY CO.. LTD.

Tho New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Co., Lid., report as follows Our quota was 2000 bales. 'I here was a full and representative bench of buyer's, and it is pleasing to report that competition was very keen and better spread than at previous auctions this season. As has been the case at earlier sales’ the Continental section dominated the position, but Brad ford and Canada were also/in the market and secured a fair weight of wool. It was evident that buyers were operating on increased limits, with the result that prices for ordinary medium-quality wool were about a halfpenny < dearer, while finer- sorts were three farthings and occasionally one penny dearer. Bellies and pieces were eagerly competed for ,by the Continent and late rates were fully maintained. There was only a small entry of lambs’ wool, but for the better sorts there was an excellent demand and prices wove decidedly firmer. The wool opened up in gcotl condition, but unfortunately quite a number of clips were uiwkirtcd and contained .mere or less seed. Many clips that were unskirted could only he sold as ordinary top-making sorts, while had they, been skirted they would have coin manded competition from buyers who wanted super wools and would have commanded higher prices.

Abraham and Williams, Ltd., and Wright, Stephenson and Co., Ltd., report: —We offered 3015 bales, and sold over 92 per cent under tile hammer. Tho wool was not up to tho standard of the usual December offerings, much of it being poorly grown and showing lack of condition and tenderness, the effects of the hard winter and dry weather conditions in the spring. The hogget wool was naturally most affected by the hard conditions, and the East Coast clips suffered most. Competition was most spirited from a full bench of buyers. The Continent was very much in evidence, Germany being more prominent than at the two preceding sales. Bradford, too, gave consistent support, and acquired a good share of the offerings. Canada bought some super wools; Japan was not in the market Good wools were up Id and average sorts wore up 3d compared with Auckland and Napier realisations. While general disappointment is boing felt at the serious fall in prices, as compared with last year, it must bo kept in mind that the future does not look as promising as it did last December. At that time tho prices for primary products were moving upward under a wave of confidence. In Great Britain exports were increasing, and an improvement in internal trade was anticipated, owing to the lapproaching Coronation festivities. Some of these influences are lacking today, but it is the absence of demand from Japan and America that is the chief cause of lower prices and existing uncertainty. It 19 estimated that these countries imported the equivalent of 2.oo'Ji' b3ies of wool from all sources in 1936-37; compared with this, the quantity they have taken to date this season in Australia and New Zealand is almost negligible. Last year Japan, the East, U.S.A. and Canada bought 34.5 per cent of the New Zealand clip. On the other hand, there are indications that the Continent may import more wool this year. It is impossible, however, owing to the unrest in Europe and the East, and also owing to the American situation, to give any advice as to the future trend of the market. Tho stocks of raw material held overseas are, at a very low point, hut tile future rests solely with tho outcome of the international situation.
