Second Sale of Season at Invercargill. MANS' BUYERS ATTEND. Per Press Association. INVERCARGILL, March 5. There was a full bench of buyers at the second wool sale of the season, representing Bradford, German, French and Japanese interests. The wool was not so attractive as at the previous sale. Continental buyers were very quiet. Bradford were the principal buyers, while the Dominion mills bought anything showing quality. The catalogue included some nice lines of hogget wool, and for this competition was keen. The highest price was IOJd for a line of Corriedale. Passings were about 45 per cent, but a considerable quantity was sold privately. Range of Prices. Following is the range of prices, together with that of the first sale:— March. January.
