WOOL SALE
Yorkshire Buyers Active
PRICES SHOW DECLINE
Continental buyers did not display
their usual activity at the fifth wool
sale of the season conducted at the
Wool Exchange throughout today. It
was left to English buyers to secure the
majority of the wool offerings, and
their efforts were such as to enable
fairly good clearances to be made.
Reports to hand at the time of writ
ing suggested that the briskness of York
shire buyers kept the market about on
a level with the trend indicated in ttiu
Eastern States, which represents a drop
on last sale. The offering comprised
22,000—23,000 bales.
Goldsbrough, Mort and Company
Limited, report having offered a cata
logue of 2586 bales drawn principal^
from the Great Southern' and agricul
tural districts with a representation of
station wools from the Gascpyne and
Murchison pastoral areas. The greater
portion of their catalogue was lifted by
Bradford buyers, very limited com
petition being forthcoming from the
Continental section.
Since the last sale, values in Eastern
States markets had shown a furthe;
decline and thus was fully reflected in.
prices obtained today, the greatest de
cline being shown in best spinners
types. A good clearance of their big
lot? was effected at auction.
Among the best prices realised were:

UP TO EASTERN VALUES
Messrs. Dalgety and Company Limited,
report as follows:—
At the fifth sale of the 1929-30 sell
ing season this morning, when the As
sociated Brokers offered catalogues com
prising 23,000 bales, our catalogue was
8530, including sacks. The selection con
sisted of wools drawn principally from
the agricultural districts and the Murchi
son. with a few brands from the Port
Hedland and ' Gascoyne. The selection
was really a good one and there were
wools included which were suitable for
all sections of the manufacturing trade.
There was a full room of buyers, but un
fortunately those 'representing Contin
ental houses held very restricted orders
and consequently Bradford competition
oredomiriated. and \ Yorkshire buyers
lifted the. bulk 'of the catalogues. as
a resun, uiose types oi wool, wnicn were
not entirely suitable for Bradford re
quirements did not enjoy very active
competition. Since the sale on Decem
ber 3, a marked decline in values has
been recorded in Eastern States' selling
centres, and these conditions were natur
ally reflected at the sale today, when
prices were decidedly Jower than at our
last sale, but fully up to values ruling at
other selling centres during late De
cember and early January. ' The highest
price obtained for fleece wool by us was
15£d for T. J. Cornwall, of Beaufort, Wa
gin, and for Messrs. Broad Bros., Mellen
bye, Wurarga, while lambs grown by Mr.'
W. C. Anderson, of Narrawong, Katan
ning, made 152d.

'A DISTINCT DROP'
The Westralian Farmers Limited re
port that they are offering a fully rep
resentative catalogue of approximately
3000 bales. The selection is a good one,
comprising all areas from the Murchi
son southwards. There is a full attend
ance of buyers operating. Continental
buyers are quiet, and Bradford is pro
viding the strength of the competition
on this occasion. As anticipated from
recent Eastern sales reports the market
shows a distinct drop and considerable
irregularity, average wool maintaining a
better relative position than the higher
grades. Our highest price up to present
is 16d for two bales of If^bs on account
of Hull Brothers, Tam^lup. We are
still selling at the time of going to
Press.
