WOOL MARKET EASIER

WELLINGTON SALE BUYERS’ LIMITS REDUCED Press Association WELLINGTON, Friday. An average decline of up to 1d a lb was recorded in the market for wool at the second Wellington wool sale of the current season, as compared, with prices at the opening sale. Coarse wools were rather less affected by the decline. The best price offering for fine halfbred, 56's58’s, was 15d for a line from the Marlborough district. At the low range of prices offering as the sale proceeded Bradford was in the market taking fair quantities, and German buyers "were also operating fairly freely. The American trade had a few orders to fill for wool suitable to its requirements. All classes of skirting made a fair market, France and Germany being the principal operators. About 30 per cent. of the wool offered was passed in. The following is the official range of prices, together with those at the November sale: — .
