CROSSBRED WOOL IN DEMAND
LOW STOCKS IN YORKSHIRE
“There seems little doubt that the demand for crossbred wool will again be substantial when the selling season opens,” writes the trade correspondent of The Yorkshire Observer. “Low stocks in Yorkshire will compel buyers to secure supplies; Continental countries are showing ample signs that they need the raw material, and Japan, which increased her purchases in New Zealand from 23,000,0001 b in the 1935-36 season to 39,500,0001 b last season, will probably take still more next season. Her military activities in China imply that her requirements for uniforms are likely to increase rather than decrease.
“One indication of the acute position in Bradford, incidentally, is given by the fact that various firms which normally trade in colonial and South American crossbred wools have been among the buyers at the sales of home-grown wools held in different parts of the British Isles during the past month or two.”
