Buxton, Balme and Jacomb's joint catalogue comprised 6887 bales, a fair selection, including 3785 bales from New Zealand.

Compared with April closing sales crossbreds all round showed a decline of 10 jJer cent.; merinos were very irregular, and choicest declined 4 per cent.; others averaged about 10 per cent.
The Xational -Mortgage and Agency Company of New Zealand, Ltd., have cable advice thafc the London wool sales opened yesterday at a decline of 10 per cent, from last sales in merinos and fine erossbreds and 12£ per cent, on medium and coar.se crossbreds. The bidding wa.« keen.
Messrs Dalgetv and Co. report under date London. May 12th:—"The third scries of wool tsales opened to-day with a fair selection, a large attendance of buyei'is, and animated competition. Ay compared with the closing rates of last series prices are on the. average 5 to 10 per cent, lower for good merino, 10 to 15 per cent, lower for inferior and .faulty, 10 per cent, lower for fin? crossbred, and 10 to 12£ per cent, lower for medium and coarse cn.-sbred wools. The market for rabbitskins is steady. We expect that if any change in prices takes place it will he in favour of sellers."
