FIRES ON VESSELS.
THE SHEEP-DIP THEORY. OPINIONS OF SYDNEY WOOL EXPERTS. [press association.] (Received "June 19, 10.13 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. Th© opinion of tho local wool experts is opposed to the London suggestion that th© fires among the wool cargoes were the result of sheep dips. It is pointed out that sheep are dipped immediately after they are shorn, so that even if the dips contained ingredients of a combustible they would be evaporated before the; next shearing. It is hinted that the suggestion in regard to dips may havo emanated from some interested quarter. The more general opinion favours the theory that the fires were caused by dampness on the wool.
