WOOL APPRAISEMENT
BELOW NORMAL STANDARDS WAIRARAPA CUPS DISAPPOINTING fl’un United Phess Association.] WELLINGTON', February 13. The Wellington Wool brokers’ Association reports that at the third praisement, which commenced on February 7 and concluded on February 11, approximately 31,500 bales of greasy and 2.237 bales of slipe wool were valued. Owing to the unfavourable pastoral conditions experienced from the autumn till the spring, the appraisement in general was far below normal standards, both in regard to growth and colour. Many noted Wairarapa clips were very disappointing, being thin in staple and inclined to be tender and olf in colour. Lambs’ wool was in plentiful supply, and contrary to expectations, ewe wool was fairly well grown, the lambs haying evidently done well in the spring. Many parcels ranged from 14d to 15fd, with an odd lot at 16d. The next appraisement on March 15 will practically clean up the season’s clip for this district. It will mainly consist of back country clips.
