cimis'ivnniCM wool, sacks (IH 'I elegi ii [ill--Siiir i:i I to Mi* • 1 j CH UISTCII riiCII, July -I . There was a represcntative bench of buyors at, the wool sale 10-ilay, when a catalogue of !K)0() halos was submit tod to auction, •subject to H.A.W.ICA. reserves. A general anticipation that, prices would be rally weaker was not realised, and there was a firmer demand for halibreds, due to improvement in American competition. Representatives of American houses keenly competed lor good class of halfbreds, but tliere was a weakening of both three-quarters-breds and crossbreds, the lonncr falling away more than the latter. Though erossbreds were irregular, Yorkshire buyers competed steadily lor lines suited to Bradford consumption, ; but Continental 1 juy«*rs were spasmodic' in their operations. Pieces, especially "bright lines. were an improvement upon the preceding salt', when they were more or less neglected. .Merinos were not in request and the bulk of this description failed to change hands at auction and passings were much more frequent than at previous sale's. There were a lew large clips entered, ’notably the' Tarndale clip of ~>7 1 bales. Out of Ibis lot only lO bales acre passed. .Merinos wen' from Id to ltd easier, and sold irregularly. Halfbreds were firm at the dune rales, with a few sales above that rate. Three-quarter-breds were from Id to ’id lower and crossbreds a bunt Id lower. Prices won' from Id to ltd belter than at previous sales. HANKS AM) SHIPMENT OF WOOI, (Hy Telegraph—Special to Mail)

CmUSTniURCII, July 21. A meeting of the Wool Boyers’ Association considered the position in regard to existing (inaucial conditions governing the sliipment ot wool. -Ml Whill, eliairmau of the association, who is at present in England, cabled advising the cessation of sales unless the hanks altered their policy in regard to financial arrangements. Recently the banks have refused to negotiate bids of lading until the boat which is to carry the wool is actually in port instead of from the ‘‘prompt date. As the boat to carry the wool bought to-day is actually in. port at Lyttelton, the difficulty has been overcome and a deadlock so lar as to-day s sale is concerned has been avoided. The Woolhrolccrs' Association has made representations to the banks on the matter, and the brokers expect to receive a reply in a few days in regard to a change in the attitude oi the hanks.
