The Government Meteorologist s weather forecast yesterday was as fol-. I#wb ; winds at times. The weather will probably grow squally, with heavy showers. The barometer is rising. 1 At the wool sales at Invercargill yesterday IO.UOO bales were offered. There was a large attendance of bhy«rs. Competition was good, and very little was passed in the morning* Prices all round-were practically on a par with the last sale, finer w-ols being a I rifle easier. Halfl.red brought up to lid. _____
