Napier: Arrived, at midnight, Canadian Transporter, from Auckland. Major Seagrave sailed from Southamplott yesterday for America, where he will make attempts upon the land and sea records.—British Official Wireless. I lie total wool shipments from Gisborne for English and Napier sales ap- i proximate 50.000 bales, while further consignments have been arranged to go forward during the next few weeks. Of this total, 14.830 bales have been sent for sale in England. Tokomarn Bay has contributed 7454 hides for the English sales, making a total of 22,284 bales from Gisborne and. Tokomavu Bay for this market. It was thought at the beginning of the season that there was n tendency on the part of Poverty Bay ' wool growers to ship more of their clips direct to London, but while a few may have diverted their wool from Napier it is not yet known yet whether there has been a marked tendency in this direction, and probably no accurate estimate of the position will be possible till the conclusion of (lie selling season in New Zealand.
