NAPIER WOOL SALES .

DECLINE IN PRICES

BIDDING SINGULARLY LIFELESS,

I Per Press Association.) NAPIER, this day. At- the second Napier wool sales, which wore continued this morning, thfa decline manifested at the opening last night was again apparent. American competition, was not in e\ idom-e to anything like the (herein* shown at thol.T-u sides. Bradford buyers took n.ost of tlm crossbred wools a 1 prices generallv registering a decline of fully 2d per Hi. on recent rates. This was pounier-halaneod somewhat by the im reused prices i'o.- coarser classi.w. hut generally speaking a cleeiiiie- was evident i.vnr the wholn range. TJtc exact reasons are hard to dot ermine, hut obviously the buyers are now operating under limits much more Severn than Grey were subject to- tlireri weeks ago. At timer. In-day bidding was singularly spiritless. Crossbred wools, even of good class, seldom realised over 26d, and more frequently were in ihe vicinity of 22d and 23d. Pieces made up to 16,9(1 pr 17d. Lambs’ woo! was in demand tip to 27d. MMie existing prices, despite the decline, represent a satisfactory ref urn for the producer, and very few lots were passed
