WOOL ARRIVES

FIRST WELLINGTON SALE

Wool is coming quite freely into store for the next Wellington., wool sale the first of the 1937-38 season. The maibrity of the big stations in the Walrarapa and Wellington districts will be shearing this week and heavy arrivals are expected. The weather so far has been highly favourable to shearing. • ~ Wool shorn up to the present time is lighter in condition than it was at this time last year and it was then very light. The present light condition is due, no doubt, to the absence of pasture suitable for sheep, although cattle have done well. It may be as well for growers to take into account the fact that the fine shearing weather will mean a speeding up of arrivals in store and it may not be long-now before the total receipts may reach the limit fixed by the New Zealand Wool Committee for the first sale on December 8 of 30,000 bales. Auckland opens the series on November 27 with a limit of 25,000 bales and Napier follows on December 3 with a limit of 28,000 bales. In regarding prices for New Zealand -crossbreds that may be cabled from 'London for the opening of the November series which takes place today, it should be borne in mind that the wool to be offered may be lacking in style and in that respect inferior to the wool to come into the first of the New Zealand sales.
