Webster and Co., report:— At the second sale of the season a total of 15,000 bales was submitted, our catalogue consisting of 703 bales, 'lhe attendance of buyers was large and representative of all sections of the trade. At the outset it was evident that the Continental buyers were strongly in the market, and set the nace for medium average conditioned wools and bulky pieces. French buyers confined their :t----tention mostly to lambs wool and Southdown lots. Bradford buyers operated keenly for average conditioned wools, and America competed for the top lines of crossbred offering.

Superior crossbred were firmer, while lambs wool showed au advance or up to a penny per lb, occasionally more for superior lots: pieces and bellies were firm, any change being In sellers favour. For all average wools showing -uality the keenest of competition was experienced, and sometimes up to twopence over last sale was paid.
