THE WOOL MARKET.
END OF LONDON SALES. HIGH PRICES REALISED. By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright. (Received February 8, 1 a.m.) London, February 7. The wool sales closed strong, prices for most sorts reaching the highest level of the series. Choice seventies merino were equal to the London prices of January last year. Sixty-fours, suitable for America, were a penny below the November rates. There was strong and steady competition for average combings for the Home trade and the Continent at full December rates. Topmakers and crossbreds were firm at December rates, and parcels suitable for America showed a 10 per cent, advance on December rates. During the series 93,000 bales were sold for the Home market, 88,000 for the Continent, and 12,000 for America, 8000 bales being held over.
