WOOL AND SKIN SALE.

Williams and Kettle, Ltd., report: —At our periodical sale of wool, skins, hides and tallow there was a full attendance of buyers and bidding was brisk. Our wool catalogue consisted of single bales passed in at the last wool sale (mostly inferior line), fadges and bags, and we cleared nearly every lot at current rates. All new wools arriving since the last sale are being held for the wool sales to be arranged at a later date. Skins and tallow sold at prices on a par with last sale’s rates, whilst hides, especially heavies, showed an advance of lid to 2d per lb, due to tile Government’s action in partially lifting the embargo on this class of hide. We quote:—Wool: Crossbred (inferior) to 13Jd, dead to 10Jd, black to 10Jd, pieces to lOd, bellies to 91,c1, crutcliings to lOd, locks to 7d. Skins: Half-bred to lOd, xbred fine to lOd, xbred medium to Old, hoggets to B|d, lambs to 9Jd, pelts to Is Id each. Hides: Sta- : tion consignments: Ox to lOld, cow to 10 3-Bd, yearling to 8 Jd, calfskins to 9 l-Bd. Tallow: Station packages in tins, rendered, to 21d per lb. Horsehair to Is 4d per lb.
