♦ [Special to Fbbss Association.] LONDON, Junb 20. The Wellington Sanitation Loan of £165,000 at 4i\ per cent, with a minimum of 99, was subscribed nearly twice over. Tenders at <£95 5s will get 50 per cent. Three hundred thousand pounds worth of tenders were received for the Wellington loan at an average of about 10s premium. Mr Wilson is advising merchants to purchase Australian butter, in view of the present dearth of European supplies. At the opening of the wool sales 13,000 bales were offered. Competition was fair and the attendance moderate, but very few American buyers were present. Good crossbred and merinos were most in favour with buyers, prices for inferior sorts being five per cent below rates at the closing of the May series. SYDNEY, June 21.
