FIRES AND WOOL.
Trass Associstioii—By Telegraph—Copyright SYDNEY, June 13. (Received June 19, at 10.13 a.m.) The opinion of local wool experts is opposed to the London suggestion, that the fires in wool cargoes are the result of sheep dips. It is pointed out that sheep are dipped immediately after being shorn, and even if the dips contained ingredients of a combustible nature, they would have evaporated before the next shearing. It is hinted that the suggestion in regard to tho dips may have emanated from some interested quarter. Tho more general opinion favors the belief that tho fires are caused by the dampness of the wool.
