WOOL SALES
THE AUCKLAND OFFERING. REQUIREMENTS OF BUYERS LIMITED. PER PRESS ASSOCIATION. AUCKLAND, February 3.' The first Auckland wool sale since the requisition was held to-day. There was a fair bench of buyers, representing Bradford, American, Continental and local houses. Bidding from the outset lacked spirit, and it was evident that buyers’ requirements were very limited, while in many instances owners’ reserves prohibited sales. About one-third of the total catalogue was disposed of. There was absolutely no demand for lambs’ wool, crutchings, pieces or seedy wools, whilst coarse wools were saleable only at very low prices. The total offering® were 8544 bales, and the highest price for halfbred was 14fd. The general range was: Halfbred, to 14jd; quarterbred, to 13id- fine Romney, 7|d to 9d; medium Romney, 5d to 6d; coarse crossbred, 3d to 4d.
