SIS BALL COCK VALVE

earlier auctions failing to reach growers reserve prices, and approximately 500 bales were catalogued.

Some very stylish wools, measuring from approximately 15 through to 19 microns, commanded strong interest from the full bench of exporters present, with the vast majority of bales either sold from the auctioneers rostrum at the fall of the hammer, or negotiated after the sale has concluded.

Prices were reflective of recent Australian based wool broker auctions held in

Melbourne, Sydney, and Fremantle.

As a result of the recent floods and devastation in the north, which also seriously affected a major wool scouring facility, there will no doubt be considerable wool pipeline disruption.

However, from the south’s perspective, at this point the next Christchurch based wool auctions, scheduled for March 2nd, 9th, 16th and 30th are more than likely to proceed as usual.

That’s my view.
