Distribut* ing Co., Ltd., report as follows:—The second crutching sale of the season was held in Wellington to-day when we submitted a catalogue comprising 155 bales, consisting mainly of crutchings. There was a full attendance of buyers and competition was keen, and at times quite animated. Prices generally were about on a par with the last crutching sale held in August, although the selection generally could hardly be considered as good. Bidding was well spread, but the bulk of the lots fell to buyers representing Japan, the Continent and Dominion scourers. The best price realised by us was 10}d for a really good lot on account of J. Dillon Hocking, of Feilding. .
