Marquet, chairman of the Auckland Woolbrokers’ Association, commenting on the appraisement of crutchings and oddments which was begun at the stores to-day. “The fact that wool is skirted may make as great a difference as lid per lb,” he said, “and t'he place to do it is in the sheds as the wool comes off the sheep, not in the stores.” ;■ The anticipated shortage of labour next season would prohibit the possibility of skirting wool in the stores. Mr Marquet, commenting on the quality of the new season’s wool) said the way it was opening up at the stores augured well for the new clip.
