GOOD PRICE POE WOOL

PEOM ODE OWN COEEESPONDENT. MASTEETON, May 28. The , knowledge imparted at the Mas. terton wool-classing classes has been of the utmost value to farmers, and further proof has just been received of the benefits derived from those attending such classes. A local wool-grower who attended the classes last year has received a letter from a London firm of brokers, in which it is stated that his clip had been offered on February 3rd, and the price of ]2Jd per lb realised, as compared with that of B|d per lb for the previous year. Few, if any, clips show an advance of 4d per lb, and the wool, the letter stated, was very carefully classed. Nearly the whole of the fleece wool was sold to American buyers, and the following prices, ; were realised: Five bales at Is 3d per lb, seven bales at Is 2d, eight bales at Is IJd, six bales at Is Id, nine bales at Is Id, twenty bales at Is, five_ bales at HJd. Additional wool-classing classes are to ba established at Te Wharau and Tinui.
