THE WOOL MARKET,

Melbourne, Ju'y29

The London correspondent of the Argus, writing under data June 21, tays: —In regard to the coming wool sales New Zealand is heavily represented, and so far fts prospects can be gauged, the clip has arrived most opportunely. Growers will find a Btrong rising market for coarse graces ; it is evident that bright wools have entered upon a new lease life, an<l there Beerna every probability that the decline in values ia being recovered. New Zealand growers may congratulate themselves on their good luck, for until a wtek ago people expected the heavy arrivals would have the fffect of weakening valuer. New Zealand croasbrads are largely offering. The New Zealand woola, at the coming series, natur ally excitod soma comment, as to the 'quantities sold locally compared w<th the amount sold in London As the local auctions in New Zealand, it is well known, are ema'l compared with Victoria and New South Wales, there ia a strong feeling among buyers and large consumers here that if some steps could be taken to centralise the market in New Zealand, and so make the business more easily workable, a largely increased support will be readily given, and success similar to that experienced in Sydney and Melbourne might be expected. If one large central market in the North, und one in the South Island could be established, an impetus would be given and am inducement held out to buyers that would prove effectual to the growth of the local market,

Sydney, July 29

The rise in wool in London is affecting ihe local market. Two lots W3re placed at Is ljd and Is 3d respectively. The latter in the record price for the current year, and one penny per pound above the top quotation realised at last auction sale) either in Sydney or Melbourne.
