NAPIER, Tuesday. This morning Bradford came into the market much more freely than last night, and at times entered into spirited competition with the Continent.

The decline prine.pially involved, the finer wools, and 46’s to fill’s dropped by 2d to ltd compared with last sale. Prices for stronger wools, lie’s to 44’s, showed the least drop, declining by from 1M . to Id. Pieces and bellies were again back about 2d on the average, but lambs’ wool and good quality Romney went as far as 16d. It is felt in some quarters that prices ■must fall still further and that, where -to-day 12d was being offered for good average wols, later sales in the season would find the same class of wool only bring single figures.
