EXPERIMENTAL WOOL SALE
ARGENTINE’S FIRST AUCTION. PRICES NOT ENCOURAGING. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Rec. 10.30 p.m. Buenos Aires, Jan. 14. The first experimental wool duetion today attracted a large number of municipal and national authorities as well as wool buyers, but the bidding was not animated, prices being a small fraction of a penny above the' upset price. One lot was withdrawn because there were no bids. The sales were confined to southern territories. The wools totalled less than 150,0001 b. Only 11 sales were recorded, consisting of six lots of the better grade and five lots of “scraps.” The lowest price was approximately 4d per lb and the highest price sd. The prices were not above those recorded for private sales in the last few days at the central produce market.
