Invercargill Wool Sales.

H. Carswell and Co. report having held their second sale of the season on Wednesday, when they submitted a catalogue of about 200 bales. Buyers mustered in good force and competed with spirit for every lot, and witli one exception all were sold under the hammer. Lots well got up and skirted showed an improvement; of from jd to £d per pound over last sales. 111-condi-tioned heavy lots were somewhat neglected.
