Disposal Of Wool
(P.A.) DUNEDIN. This Day A suggestion that woolgrowers should await a detailed statement on the price which they will receive for their 194 G-47 clip was made yesterday by Mr W. Horrobin, a member of the Wool Disposal Commission. Mr Horrobin was asked to comment on a statement published today on the plans of United Kingdom-Dominion Wool Disposals, Ltd., for the orderly disposal of accumulated wartime surpluses of wool and the maintenance of an appropriate degree of stability of prices. Clarification was sought particularly of the statement that “the initial general level of reserve prices for Dominion wools sold in the Dominions shall be the same as the present average selling price ex store in the Dominion concerned.” Mr Horrobin said he was not in a position to comment on the statement issued from London beyond saying that, while in the main it was on the general lines of the wool disposal plan, it was impossible at this stage to state with any certainty what price the individual grower would receive in the 194 G-47 season.
A general statement would be released as soon as finality was reached between United Kingdom-Dominion Wool Disposals, Ltd., and its subsidiary in New Zealand.
