WFT WOOL.
AND DEFECTIVE TARPAULINS. Of late there have been many complaints with respect to the damaged condition of tho wool arriving in Wellington from the country district?, and one has only to pay a visit to tho Harbour Board's woolsheds to bo convinced that there is ample reason for complaint. On all sides are to be seen groups of bales of wet wool, for which the harbour authorities will not give receipt. This wet wool is lieing carted out to Bourke's i'ellmongery at Kilbirnie, where it is unbilled, spread out (0 dry, and rebaled. This unsatisfactory state of affair.; is alleged to be duo lo the defective tarpaulins supplied by the Railway Department, and also to the careless manner in which they are put on. Instead of one tarpaulin 'overlapping another, the practice appears to be to allow a considerable space between them. During the last few weeks, it is said that hundreds of bales have lieon refused on account of their wet condition, and have had to be dealt with in the manner stated above.
