CROSSBRED WOOL
WHY RUSSIA BOUGHT IN
LONDON
A reason why New Zealand greasy crossbreds brought higher prices at the last series of London wool sales than similar clips brought in the Dominion at that time is advanced by the trade correspondent of the Bradford "Telegraph and Argus." "For the first half of the series, Russia was paying Id per greasy pound more than she could have obtained the same wools for from New Zealand auctions in that particular period," he writes. "Although she has bought a moderate weight in New Zealand primary markets this season, she wanted supplies quicker than they could be obtained from the Dominion. So far this year, in addition to buying actively in London in the January and March series, Russia is reputed to have taken about 5000 to 6000 bales from Bradford importers, most of which were shipped from here during February and early March." <
