DISPOSAL OF WOOL
SELLERS’ ANXIETY POSSIBILITY OF BOUNTY (Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND, this day. Before the wool sales opened last night, representations were made to brokers by their clients on the subject of a possible bounty to farmers, unci as a result the Auckland wcolbrokers’ organisation telegraphed the Prime Minister, the Rt. lion. G. \\. iorbes, asking for an assurance that the provisions of any bounty scheme should be retrospective, and that sellers at this sale should not be excluded merely bv reason of the fact that they had sold their wool. _ The reply received stated: ‘The question of assisting' primary producers in their difficulties is at present receiving the consideration of the Government, but the form of relief, if it is decided that any relief can bo afforded, has not yet been settled, and may not, in any case, make provision lor a system of bounty.”
