The sale, as:ilre idy stated, was very fairly successful. Irrespective of odd lot*, th.-ie were upwards of 40') hnUw and wri'h few exceptions tho lots weie disposed of. We understand tiiat tho feeling on the paifc of large groweis to ihip ticme direct is ;u----cieasiiit;, and in many instances those who have not sufficient to make x good shipment buy instead of selling in the local market. Messrs. Hunter aud Nolan held their wool s'tle for this season at rbe Durham Yards on Nov. 20. There was a large attendance of buyers. So far as tbe sr.le was concerned it seemed as if there was a shade of advni.ee over the prices obtained at the Haymarkot recently, but the shade was almost imperceptible. Evidently the prices are not entirely satisfactory, because there were reserves beyond the bidding, and growers say that if they ctunot get fair prices here they will ship on theii own account. The sale was well attended hy the buyers. It was conducted on the part of the firm by Mr. J. M. Philson. About 150 bales were catalogued.
