WOOL SALES.

Messrs Dokald Reid and Co. held their third Bale of this season on Friday, atjthe Central Auction Booms, High street, this being the first occasion on which the agents resolved, at the request of the buyers, to aell all at one centre. Woolgrowers were in large attendance, and evinced great interest in the proceedings. Before the sale commenced there was some discussion as to whether bidding should be restricted to id bids. This was finally settled by the auctioneer (Mr Donald Beid) taking a vote, when it was unanimously agreed to that ?d bids should be the order of the day. Telegrams reporting the opening of the London sales were watched with interest, and cables to hand early yesterday morning notified a general fall on inferior merinos of |d per lb. This had a depressing effect on Bimilar qualities offered yesterday, and it was generally thought all round prices would be a shade lower. Fine halfbred combings were, however, keenly competed for, and flome highly satisfactory prices given ; a parcel of halfbred, grown by Mr J. Prentice, of Waltahuna Heights, making the highest obtained in Dunedin so far this season— viz., llfd. Our catalogue comprised 1781 bales, nearly all farmers' consignments, very nearly the whole of which was sold at prices ranging as follows :— Fine light halfbred, 9d to ll|d ; do do crossbred, B£d to l«|a ; heavy and badly classed lots (crossbred), 7d to 8d ; choice merino, 9d to 10|d ; inferior and earthy merino, 6§d to 7|d ; pieces, 5d to 8d ; bellies, 4d to 8d ; locks, 2jd to s|d ; washed crossbred, lid to 12jd ; 6Coured wools, from 12£ dto Is 3jd.

Messrs Weight, Stephknson, and Co. report as follows:— We held our third sale for this season at the Central Auction Rooms, High street, on Friday afternoon, when the same buyers (with two exceptions) as were present at the last sales were in attendance, together with a very large number of woolgrowers and others interested in the staple. Bidding throughout the sale was animated ; especially bo for the choicest of fine fibred crossbreds, if carefully classed and skirted, and for the very cleanest and best bred merinos. Wools of these two qualities maintained, and in one instance exceeded, the quotations of last sale, □ □ 2 bales beautiful halfbred realising the top price of the season— viz., llfd per lb. For all other descriptions, although competition was very satisfactory, prices must be quoted lower, in sympathy with the London market ; say for ordinary lots of crossbred and merino, from Jd to Id per lb ; for earthy and- heavy conditioned wools, Id; for three quarter-bred, seven-eighth-bred, and pure-bred long wools, fully £d ; and for all locks and pieces, from £d to Id per lb. The few lots of scoured wool on the catalogue were well competed for, and brought values . quite on a par ,with thoae current a fortnight ago.

DoNAW) SIHOifAOK (on behalf of the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company, Limited) reports as follows :— We held our third sale ! of this season on Friday .evening at the Central Auction Booms, High street, when we had a very fall attendance of buyers, also a large number of j growers and others were present. Competition was spirited for all light fine-fibred hftjfbred, and.crossbred wool, whiph realised prioes quite equal to those obtaining at tfte; previous sales, 'quality considered; coarse and heavy crossbreds also bad good attention ; while owing to telegram* to hand reporting a weakAW ia the tone of. the London sales ia respeot to <

greasy merino, whioh was said to have receded a per lb, a corresponding decline was clearly apparent in prices realised for all descriptions of this class. Pieces in some instances brought satisfactory prices, but as a rule there was less disposition to give prices ranging at the former sales. Greasy fine halfbred and crossbred ranged from 9£d to 10$ d; ordinary, 7d to 9d ; greasy combing merino, light, lOd to ll^d; medium, Bjd to 9jd ; heavy in grease and earthy, 7£d to 8d ; pieces from 4§d to Bjd per lb. Our catalogue comprised 1045 bales, of which we sold 806 bales, the balance being passed in either for shipment or future sale, owing to reserves being too high. The following brands made top prices, viz :— KO in square, 16 bales greasy halfbred 10fd; do 15 bales do tbiee-qaarter-bred lOd to loid; JH conjoined in circle, 12 bales do halfbred lOfd ; JO overChattan, 5 bales ' do do lOjd ; WL iv diamond, 16 bales do three-quarter-bred lOfd; 26 do halfbred 10 Jd; R under half circle, 6 do crossbred lOjd; HL conjoined, 4do crossbred lOJd ; CT over 51 in square, freasy. merino Hid; JH conjoined in circle, do o lO^d; RS over bar, do do lOjd.
