THE WOOL SALES.

A FURTHER RISE IN PRICES. INCREASE ALL ROUND OF ABOUT ONE FARTHING PER POUND. ■ Thb second wool sale of the season was held in the Harbour Board Buildings, Custom;y street West, yesterday, undei the auspices :. ©f the Auckland Woolbrokcrs' Association, commencing at nine'a.m. The sale was witnessed by a ! good number of sellers, and the buyers in attendance included Messrs. Price '(Southern buyer), ;Murgatroyd Oooal and Southern), Kelly (Southern), Parker (Onehunga Woollen Mills), Warnook , Bros., Donald, and Williams. The combined catalogues offered by the throe auctioneering firms interested embraced a total of 4228 bales, which is an increase of 1127 bales on the quantity put forward at the opening sale on December 2, when 3101 bales were submitted. As was expected satisfactory prices were realised, there being an increase of fully one farthing per pound all round, as compared with the first sale this year, when there was a sharp advance of about lid over the previous season's average. In some of the better grown wools the rise ■; amounted to id per pouad. Halfbred fleeces ranged from 5Jd to Q\d per lb, fine crossbreds from 53d to 7d, coarso and medium crossbreds from 4id to Sid, log-stained, and cots from 33d to 4id, pieces from 3id to 4d. The • margin between buyer's and seller's values was by no means as marked as was the case I at the December sale, and in the majority of instances the prices paid were on a par with, if not in excess of, the reserves fixed, the quantity of wool disnosed of being therefore proportionately greater. Mr. Kingswell opened proceedings on behalf of Messrs. G. W. Binney and Sons with a catalogue of 803 bales, and in rather less than three parts of an hour reached the last lot, the wool selling freely. Threo bales of Shropshire fleeces realised 8(1 per lb, and I I other sales were effected as high as 7d. After tho sale Mr. Kingswell privately quitted two bales of Merino wool from Mr. W. J. H. Fleming, of Waiheke, at 9d per lb. The New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company's catalogue, consisting of 2340 bales, was next submitted, Mr. T. Beale being the salesman. This company touched top price under the hammer, with 83d per ' lb for four bales of halfbred wool, branded E.N. over Win a triangle. Other sales were made at from 73d to Bid. The sales closed with Messrs. Alfred Buckland and Sons' catalogue of 1080 bales. Mr. C. Brookes was the auctioneer, and rattled oft the catalogue in fine stylo, but very few bales being left on hand when he reached the final lot. j The highest figure paid was 6|d per lb, lots of crossbred fleeces, Merino and halfbred Merino wools reaching the figure mentioned. All through the average was good. The following are the details of the sale: —
