The question of irregular classing _ of wools was discussed at the International Wool Conference held at Liege and Verviers in September, at which England, France, Belgium. Germany, Italy, Czechoslovakia, Holland, Poland, and Hungary were represented. The following resolution was unanimously passed: "The sixth International Wool Conference directs the attention of the growers to the fact that the defective classing of wools causes not only damage .to. the users of the wool, but that it also results in reducing the price that the- buyer can pay to the grower. In consequence, the sixth International ..W001... Conference recommends to the growers to return to the careful classifications which were formerly recognised as exemplary, and hopes that the 'small clips' which, by the efforts of the selling brokers, are collected and classed to constitute 'repacked' lots, shall have the most particular care at the hands of the classifying brokers." The discussion was initiated by the delegate from Germany, and the conference unanimously decided that the resolution' should be sent to the .various countries connected with woolgrowing.
