The Wool Sales

Tuesday, 3bd FKBBDAay. J. E. WATSO.N & CO. J. E.- Watson and Co. report having offered a catalogue of 970 bales at the : second sale --of the season. There was a full attendance of buyers, but tho speculative element was: not so prominent as at last - sale. There is a weaker tendency ■in the London market, and buyers' limits forcertain classes are correspondingly reduced. As compared with last sale, values for best qualities of fine crosabred and half bred showed no rednotion. Medium, faulty and inferior qualities were from $d to Jdperlb lower. Thi&'applied to -the .finer grades as well as to coarse wools. Pieces and bellies had a slow sale, aud pricea were in and out, but, taken on an average, were about less than the previous sale. There was a considerable amount passed in during the sale, but vendors present accepted the situation well, and heavy bookings were made after' the auctions were concluded. The following brands secured top prices : —
