“The general impression is that the wool market will be better in March than it is to-day,” said Mr. R. Falkiner, a prominent New South Wales pastoralist and general manager of F. S. Falkiner and Sons, Ltd., stud merino sheep breeders, who is a passenger on the Mariposa, which arrived at Auckland from Sydney. He is making a short pleasure trip to the United States. “Prospects from a pastoralist’s point of view are the best for some years, at any rate since 1928,” said Mr. Falkiner. “The price of wool is good, and so is the price of store stock. Wo have had one of the most uniformly good seasons throughout Australia.” The attention of fruitgrowers is drawn to an advertisement appearing in these columns, calling a meeting for to-morrow (Thursday) evening in the Oddfellows’ Hall, at 7.30. In view of the petition which is being at present circulated in the district, the board members desire to place before exporters certain facts having a very definite bearing on this petition, in order that they may bo unite clear of the issue that is at stake. A full attendance is urgently requested.
