WOOL SALES,

The Mutual Agency Company of New Zkaland (Limited) report as follows:—Tlie third of the series of Dunodin wool sales commenced ou Thursday, January 28, at the Oddfellows' Hall, Rattray street; the various

Catalogues for which comprised 7368 bales. Included in the above was a much larger proportion o.? merino wool than at the previous auction ; and as tho news concerning tho London sales, which opened on the 26th, was of a somewhat discouraging nature as regards this class of wool, biddings in connection with tho same dragged considerably—in fact, for second-class merinos prices were from £d to Id per lb below those at the last sale. On the other hand, various lots of a fine, bright staple met with a very keen competition, several of which on our catalogue brought up to 9(1 and 9.id per lb. Coarse and heavy crossbreds and threo-quarter-breds also suffered to the extent of about ±il per lb, and in halfbrods the general range of values was slightly in buyers' favour. Wo feel quite convinced, however, that prices current at the sales would bear very favourable comparison with London rates, and that owners have no reason to be other than satisfied with the result. Buyers were well represented, and there was also a large attendance of farmers aud others, wluf watched the proceedings throughout with great interest. The percentage of withdrawals was somewhat larger than at the last sales. Our catalogue comprised 1530 bales, from which the following aro some of our highest priced sales in the various classes :—Halfbreds: RG, 4 bales lOJd; DW over three-leafed clover, 7 do 10-£ d; VR conjoined, 6 do 10£ d, 5 do l(Wd; M over 2 over NZ, 13 do 10d; WN, 3 do lOd; WC in triangle, 7 do lOd; PW, 4 do lOd; M over Dalvey, 5 do 9£d; JM, 2 do 9£d; P, sdo 9Jd; Glenary, 20 do 9Jd; Otakjirama, 21 do 9Jd, 26 do 9id; WM, 3 do 9£d; S in diamond, 3do 9£d.
