London Wool Sales.
(Received To-day, at 9.48 a.m.)
London, Last Night
Seventy-eight thousand bales were sold for home requirements, 64,000 for the Continent, 12,000 for America, and 14,000 were held over. Compared with January sales, medium and good merinos are unchanged, faulty are five per cent, lower, fine crossbreds are five per cent, higher, medium seven and a-half per cent, and coarse ten per cent, higher. The prospects are brighter than at the opening. Americans operated chiefly in crossbreds.
Messrs Murray, Roberts and Co. have received the following wool market cablegram from their London House, Messrs Sanderson, Murray and Co., dated 24th March:—"The sales have closed with rates unchanged. The market has a good spirit; 14,000 bales held over."
