NAPIER WOOL SALE
FIRM ON WANGANUI PRICES FINAL AUCTION OF SEASON. [ Per Press Association.] NAPIER, April 7. Prices generally on a par with those ruling at the recent Wellington and Wanganui sales, were obtained at the final Napier wool sale held to-night before a fairly full bench of buyers, operating mostly for English and Continental firms. There were 5062 bales offered. Generally speaking, the wool was of better standard than Is usually to be expected at the final sale of the season and the lower grade wool sold exceptionally well, especially in view of the tact that it was of fairly poor quality, coming from the back country. Finer wools fetched slightly lower prices than those ruling at the Wellington sale owing to being a shade too deep. The highest price obtained was 9|d for a line of super type halfbred. Bidding throughout was brisk for all qualities and the clearance was satisfactory. Compared with the Napier sale brokers made medium and coarse crossbred to 4d better, inferior M to |d. and pieces and bellies at about par. The hogget wool offered was keenly competed for at advances up to a penny.
