Official Range of Prices

sThe official report of the third sale o$ the season in Dunedin issued by tfe Dunedin Woolbrokers’ Association i»Tconjunction with the New Zealand WSbol Disposal Commission and the N|w Zealand Wool Buyers’ Association, states: JA full bench of buyers attended en the catalogues of the various brokers were in the same quantities as in? December. . W Compared with the recent Christchurch sale, prices for merinos and fine crossbreds suitable for local min requirements were firmer. Medium and sttong halfbreds were slightly easier Medium and fine crossbreds, while firm on the Christchurch rates, were distinctly lower than the exceptional December sale in Dunedin. This is undoubtedly due to the lack of? orders from the Continent and Russia. Hf Generally, competition was erratic and well spread; but Bradford showed increased interest. The Continent wOre keen on skirtings, and these were •Md at satisfactory prices. ''’‘‘The sale finished at 11 p.m. ' ) fhe official range of prices is:—
