FIBRE IN WOOL.
HIGH COST OF NEW PACKS. LONDON, Feb. 28. The Vegetable Fibre Committee is still making experiments with a view to obtaining a wool pack which will' prevent deleterious vegetable fibre from getting mixed Avith the avool. The difficulty has been to obtain something not too expensive. Ono very satisfactory . paper-lined pack Avas submitted, but the price is about 9d above that of Calcutta iute bags. Another, from Dundee, worked out at 4d above the Calcutta price. The latter, m Avhich the' pamper is fixed to the insido of the bags With pitch, will undergo its full trial with this season's shipments from Australia. Paper twino has also been submitted to the committee, Avhich regards some of the samples as remarkably useful and attractive, and recommends them to growers. A minority report signed by Mr H. F. Little and Mr W. Acton Adams, as representing the growers, expresses the opinion that unless the manufacturers (i.e., the buyers) Avill bear a portion of the cost of the packs there is not much hope of a solution. There are indications that the sort of pack required will cost 4s, and the minority feels confident tliat groAvers will not pay the Avholo of this. .
