WOOL SUPPLIES AND DEMANDS
LONDON, May 19. Mr Arthur Ooldnneh ( Director of Raw ! Materials) predicted that for many months the shipping programme would not be complied with. It was estimated on the maximum arrivals of wool that there would be no difficulty regarding clothing wool coming in. The British clip would keep the supplies of crossbred and combing wool within safe limits, with small New Zealand assistance, but the stocks of Merino combing wool did not give the requisite margin of safety. This was still iess satisfactory because France was badly off for combing wools, and was pressing for British assistance. (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
