AUSTRALIAN WOOL. English Business Diverted to Commonwealth. EFFECT OF BRITISH BREACH. (United r.A.-Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Received 12 noon.) RIGA, May 15. Besides placing in Australia the recently cancelled English orders, the Soviet has decided to buy Australian wool direct, establishing special agencies at Perth and Melbourne for this purpose. The Soviet has approved plans for bartering with Australia, especially in respect to West Australian wool. A London message states that Mr, William Sherwood, presiding at the Engineering and Shipbuilding Trades Federation, stated that Soviet orders valued at £4,000,000 had been suspended, involving the unemployment of thousands of the federation's workers owing to the Government's hasty and illadvised breach with Russia.
