Messrs Graham, Pitt and Bennett report that at their usual monthly wool sale, held at Makaraka yesterday there was a fair attendance of buyers, and prices ranged at recent market quotations. The publishers of a German novel scored a hit recently in the line of advertising. They had inserted in most of the papers a notice stating that a certain nobleman of means, anxious to obtain a wife, wanted one who resembled the heroine of the novel named. Of course every marriageable s oman who saw this announcement bought the novel to see how much she resembled the imaginary beauty referred to.
