•Comm?ntip«T on the wc-rl trarket. the Sydney "Daily Telegraph" says:—"lncreased quantities of the raw material offered at auction have had no adverse effect npon the wool market. French, German, and 'Belgium buyers are quif» ■-rs Jceen as they were at the opening of the season. At the .present time Con tinemal buyers- are giving the nrarket ■their strongest support; it is, in fact, a market, and the pener.il trend of values continues upon the up grade- Good to superior wools," hot ft .merino and cress-brad, are quotably dearer than a. -week aso. ard they &i*» now, on the average, fully 15 per cent above the Tates current "when the weskh sales closed in February last. Allowances however, mnst be made for the condition in which the wool has perforce to be olaced upon the market. Very few cljds have escaped the consequences of the drought. Though the quality is very desirabl?, they are more or less dusty. Some otherwise good clips carry a verv fair-weight of earthy iratter. especially in the backs of the fleeces. A very fair amount of real estate is baing sold with the wool at per lb."
