The report of Murray Roberts and Co. on the Wellington wool sale, is as follows: — "Only 20,000 bales were catalogued, owing to continued wet weather. Our offering totalled 3.000 bales, chiefly cross-bred, many lines of attractive style and light condition being 'included. The offering was generally sound, though some of the finer hoggets were tender. The clips offered represented all the wool-growing districts. The buyers were augmented by fresh arrivals since last sale, and bidding was keen and increasingly general. Bradford and Continental buyers were active, France, particularly, in super pieces, competing keenly with local mills. Seedy pieces were'taken by local scourers and Germany at lower levels than clean wools. "Compared with the November market, prices were Jd up on average wools, from.-Jd to Id better for super sorts; clean pieces and bellies were about Id better, and low and average j were with the November range. The [range of.prices secured was as follows. — Crossbred, tine, average to super, 12.1 to 15Jd, inferior HJd to 12d; crossbred, medium, average to good, 113 d to 14Jd, inferior, 3 Old to llsd'; crossbred, coarse, average "to good, 10id to 13Jd, inferior 9§d to lid: crossbred, pieces,.good to super, 10Jd to 14{d, low to medium, 6sd to 0d; bellies, good 8d to lOd, low to medium, fild to 7Jd."
