WOOL SALE.
THIRD AT WANGANUI. By Telegraph Pras* Association. WANGANUI, February 27. The third Wanganui wool sale opened this evening when half of a catalogue of 25,000 bales was offered before a full bench of buyers. The offering comprised wool on a par with that usually catalogued at the February sale, much of it coming from the back country, showing signs of seed and being matted. Bidding, while not spirited, was steady and solid. Taking the class of wool into consideration, the sale must be considered satisfactory. Prices were roughly £d to Id down on last Wanganui sale, but so far as the bidding went, to-night was equal to the range set at Auckland. At the start passings were frequent, this giving an Impression in some measure to the assumption that the reserves were too high.
