LONDON WOOL SALES
WAIKAKA MAN’S SUCCESS RECORD FIGURES OBTAINED. Mr W. Ayson, of Waikaka, sold 41 bales of wool at the recent London sales, 19 bales bringing the record price of 30£d, and six bales (pieces) 231 d. Mr Ayson has now received the following report from the London brokers: — “In this clip was a very good example of well-grown Corriedale wool of good quality and bright and attractive appearance; in fact, it was some of the brightest wool of its class that we have had the pleasure of seeing for many a long day.” Sir James Parr, High Commissioner, has also written as follows to Mr Ayson: — “I have just heard from the Bank of New Zealand that the price realized for your wool was the extremely high figure of 30id per lb, which I am sure, must be very satisfactory to you. I have obtained a sample of the wool from the bank, and I am giving instructions that a display of this should be made in this office.”
