THE WOOL CLIP.
One feature of the wool trade relied upon by experts for ensuring an advance in the price of the staple, is the fact that there has been a shortage in the year's clip. This decrease is variously estimated at from 120,000 to 150,000 bales. Messrs Goldsborough, Mort, & Co., in a circular recently issued give the net decrease in exports from the colonies as 121,427 bales, as follow : 1894-95. 1895-6. New South Wales ... 739,678 ... 666,459 Victoria ... ... 450,168 ... 454,105 South Australia ... 171,858 ... 176,414 Queensland ... 138,900 ... 113,485 West Australia ... 19,719... 21,102 Tasmania ... 12,933 ... 9,667 New Zealand ... 339,995 ... 340,592 1,903,251 1,781,824 It will be seen that New South Wales showed a decrease of 73,21-9 bales; Victoria, a decrease of 26,0G8 bales ; South Australia, an increase of 4,556 bales ; Queensland, a decrease of 25,415 bales ; West Australia, an increase of 1,883 bales ; Tasmania, a decrease of 3,2GG bales; and New Zealand, an increase of 597 bales.
