WELLINGTON WOOL SALES.

Messrs Levin and Go., Ltd., report:— The fourth sale of the 1915-16 season was held on Friday. Tho catalogue comprised wools which had arrived in store ;,m January 15th last, the closing date of the February 14th sale. No. sale has taken place since that date owing to tho lack of shipping space. The hope was expressed then that tho next salo would be held in March, nearly three months ahead of actual time —a silent witness to the pressure upon shipping space in tho interval. The total catalogues to-day were 19,328 bales, tovvards which we contributed 4100 bales. Most or the buyers who attend the sale during the ordinary season were present, or mul their appointed representatives.. The wool offered was good and fully up to what is looked for in Weill ng'ton in February and March sales. All bright wools realised up to February rates. Dingy and seedy wools wore easier.
