On the contrary, the prevailing opinion is that crossbreds geneially have probably been as cheap as they are likely to lie for the time being. Not only has there been seen a lecent upward tendency in New Zealand, but better prices for crossbred tops oi most descriptions have been made m the Bradford market. . , “It seems possible that Russian an Japanese attention to these wools may have something to do with the change of view, but there is more to it than that.
