The Now Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Co., have leceived the following cablegram 'from London, under date 15th inst:— September Wool Sales.—There was a full attendance at the opening of the sales, competition by French buyers being active, and prices as compared with the close of preceding sei-ies ruled about the same, with the exception of medium and coarse greasy crossbred (in favour of sellers).
