* LONDON WOOL SALES, [By Electric Telegraph- -Copyright] [United Press Association.] London, November 3. At the wool sales 8393 bales were offered, whereof 1090 were New Zealand. The attendance was unusually largo, but bidding was confined to the Homo trade owing to the embargo on importations. There was keen competition and spirited bidding for crossbreds at famine prices, which were generally 10 per cent, above those at the October sales. The merinos were an inferior selection, many being second-hand Australian lots on Continental account, and chiefly short carbonising sorts. These were very difficult to sell at 10 per cent, below the October prices, while superior shafty combings advanced 5 per cent. T. LAMASON’S WEEKL.Y REPORT. Last Saturday we held our usual weekly sale, which was successful. Poultry is now in very good demand, especially good table sorts.
