The fourth wool sale of the season was held to-day, when a catalogue of 3684 bales was offered to a full attendance of buyers representing all the world's consuming centres. A good clearance' was effected.
Tho offering was composed chiefly of late shorn wools, which in most cases were heavy in condition and carrying seed.

Compared with the March sale fine wools may bo quoted J>d per lb. easier, while good crossbreds showed little if any change.
