WOOL PACKS AND WEIGHTS.

"That the attention of'the woolbrokers ] be drawn to the fact that the woolpacks supplied to farmers are lib short of the : weight taken off for same by brokers and buyers. Taking into consideration the fact that bnyerg get lib per cwt tare on wopl, we ask that the brokers be requested to deduct only the weight of the pack." This was moved at the Southland Farmers' , Union last week. It was stated tbat in , the sale of wool the concessions were all ' in favour of tho buyers, whereas the farm- !• er had to pay both buyer and seller. The mercantile firms, if they wished to do ;business with the farmers, should make < ,fair concessions. Taking the number of 'bales exported from New Zealand in 1026 1 as about 600,000, and taking the price of 1 wool at even 12d per lb, New Zealand pro- I ducers were making a present to the wool I buyers of £25,336 9s under this system of ] selling. Mercantile firms were not reaping the benefit, but the wool-buyers were. : On the same basis Southland producers .1 were making a present to woolbuyera of ■'■ £1354 Is. The motion was carried. .
