WOOL SALES.
The second wool sale of the season was held at Dunedin on Monday when a catalogue of 9718 bales was offered. All the buyers present at the first sale were represented at tills, besides a new American buyer, and a Continental operator, who made there presence much felt in the price of one small lot of six bales, whieß was put up to the fancy price of 10H per lb. Com r petition was exceeding brisk, especially in the ease of bright, we 1-grown. light-conditioned wools, and for different lots of fine halfbreds and merinos. For wasty, dingy and heavy conditioned clips the bidding was anything but spirited, and had it not been for the competition of the local fellmongers and representatives from the woollen mills prices for these would hare suffered considerably. Prices, as compared with those ruling at the opening of the season, show the following changes Bright light well grown merinos, halfbreds and crossbreds, par to id advance ; do do threequarter-breds and lobg wools, par to Jd advance ; shabby heavy merinos, halfbred, crossbreds and long wools, market unchanged.
