WOOL PROSPECTS
LONDON, May 6
Continental competition was chiefly responsible for values tending in. buyers’ favour at the woolsales. Dawsons point out that France is very nervous over the internal situation. Germany is still out of the market on account of import- restrictions. The position of Britain is sound and prosperous, but a period of cautious trading during the summer is advisable. Wool is sounder than most raw materials. Recent irregularities in cotton and wheat, however, cannot be ignored. .
