The -Wool Tbade.—The Christchurch Press interviewed Mr Hughes, the representative of an English wool broking firm who is now in the Colony, concerning the advance in wool. Mr Hughes states that the rise waa not by. any means the result of speculation. It was owing to a large and increased, eon. sumption. It was a pure revival ir» trade. Not so very long ago the manufacture of woollen goods was comparatively small; now everyone, even among fcb.e poorer classe of Europe, was wearing woollen clothing. They took to the clothing when wool was cheap, and having found out the benefits arising from this class of goods, they do not care to lose them. Hence the increased prices for woollen goods all over Europe. This was the chief reason why wool had risen, and was likely to Btand at a good figure. ‘Keating3 Powder,’ destroys Bugs, Fleas, Moths, Beetles, and all other insects, whilst harmless to domestic animals.
