NAPIER WOOL SALE

THE JANUARY FIXTURE BIG POVERTY BAY OFFERING Thp biggest offering of wool from tlio Poverty Bay district during the present season will come forward for sale at Napier on January'' 17, more than 4COO bales having been shipped already. The wool has gone forward in good condition, and is expected to open up equally as well as at earlier sales this year. ’While it. is not expected that the wool from Poverty Bay will come up to the allotment of BuCO bales granted the district at the January sale, it is probable that between 5000 and 6000 bales will Ikv offered, for the hookings for vessels during the •next fortnight are heavy. The January Napier sale is, of course, always the largest of the season, and already the full allotment, of Hawke’s Bay wool, amounting to 20,000 bales, has been secured.

Wool from the back country will be pouring into the Gisborne wool stores during the next week, much of it having been held in the woolsheds throughout tho district during the recent, bad weather. The bulk of the shearing has been completed, and the February and March sales will not attract nearly so large an entry as the sale next month.
