There was a good attendance and the demand was brisk, owing t American competition for merinos. me-rinos. When the series opened merinos were practically niichangc-d, but prices gradually rose and they closed 5 per cent higher than tho March cerlcs. Tho advance- was most pronounced in lino scoured and grcaslea. In heavy grcaBlefl tho improvement was less general. Fino crossbrcds ruled 4 per cent higher when tho series opened. Medium crcssbreds, although al-though In demand, were not appreciably dearer. Courso advanced D pur cont nt the outset shabby-coated purcols being In keen demand. Later the better gradea showed nn advance of 7& per cont nbovo tho March uales. Sllpen were 57', per cent higher: Cape of Good Hope and Natal Na-tal snow whites and fair grcaslcs Improved 2Vt0C per cent. Heavy und wasting grcaslcs were neglected and difficult to sell at 5 per. cont decline until the close. Competition strengthened nnd they closed unchanged. Punta Arenas and Falkland Islands opened unchanged and closed unchanged un-changed to 5 per cont higher. Americans operated freely, and tho competition for Geelong grcaslcs and good medium cros3- brcds was a feature of tho sulcs. |
