THE WOOL THAT SUCCEEDS.
A HINT FROM LONDON. '. A Napier firm (says a Press Association message) has received the following report from their London agents), with reference to wool entered for the January sales ".—"Market for all well-bred, good-conditioned wools suitable for America is very strong, but Bradford is lagging very much behind, and ordinary or poor class New Zealand crossbreds aro barely holding their own. This is partly accounted for by the fact that small farmers in New Zealand, with clips of, say, five to twenty bales, are not taking sufficient trouble about the breed of-their sheep and the skirtings of the wool. The new clip is, for the most part, in good condition, well grown, and generally bright in appearance. It is most important that clips to which the above description refers should be as freo as possible from all skirty matter. It can bo readily understood that the presence of such may often prevent American competition, and mean a difference of 2d, to 2id. per lb. in the price realised."
