London Wool Sales.

London, Dec. 13.-The auction sales of
wool for the year closed today. The
closing tone was firm and the prices
realized today were practically the best
of the series. The number of bales
carried over was $1,000, 81, 900 were sold to
home buyers and $1,000 to the continent.
At the opening of the sales competition
was active and merinos firm Fine cross
breds were well maintained, while low
coarse stock ruled Irregular, at fall of
per cent under the October figures. The
demand for merinos increased, the CONT
-nent being especially eager buyers After
the first sale of the week, medium
secured and greasies and secured locks
and pieces advanced per cent, and finer
grades of wool were better supported
Yorkshire woods sold at full value and at
an unappreciable advance over the prices
obtained at the October sales Cross
breds were we'll sought for since the
opening, and especially medium and
coarse. Heavy continental stocks were
low owing to the Buenos Ayres gold
premium being against them and the fact
that French buyers had turned their at
tention here at the same time Yorkshire
