WOOL SALES. THE INVERCARGILL STOCK AND WOOLBROKERS’ ASSOCIATION. WOOL SEASON, 1937-38. Sale. Time. FIRST SALE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1938. 9 a.m. SECOND SALE, FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 1938. 2 p.m. SELLING DATES.—The above roster is subject to alterations being made in both time and date, and to fixtures being altogether withdrawn. Unless they receive express notice in writing to the contrary, brokers shall be held to have authority to sell at any such altered fixtures, notwithstanding that the grower or vendor has received’ no notice of such alteration. OFFERINGS.—Growers are notified that wool is received for sale subject tq all lawful regulations and conditions governing the trade. Brokers are not liable for loss arising directly or indirectly (owing to restrictions of lots and catalogues) from the wool not being put up for sale at the first or any subsequent sale. WEIGHT OF BALES.—The attention of growers is drawn to the regulation which requires that the weight of any one bale shall not exceed 3501 b. LIMITATION OF LOTS.—Owing to the limitation of lots at the above sales, it will be necessary to increase number of bales per lot, necessitating increased interlotting or binning of small clips. THREE-BALE LOTS.—No three-bale lots shall be included in main catalogues. In the absence of definite instructions to the contrary at the time of consigning wool, brokers reserve the right to group three-bale lots or under, or reclass if necessary. If not grouped or reclassed such lots are liable to be held over. RECLASSED WOOL.—Brokers also reserve the right to pool or bin clips where wool is sent in by growers to be reclassed. No reserve will be accepted on group or bin lots, and any grower not wishing his odd bales grouped or binned must notify his broker when forwarding his wool, in which case such bales will be offered as “Stars.” SMALL CLlPS.—Brokers reserve the rights in the absence of special instructions to bin or group all small clips forwarded to therh for sale. INSURANCE.—The insurance cover arranged by us on all wool, whether in store or elsewhere, pending sale or otherwise, on account of any owner is against ordinary fire risk only, and is subject to the same conditions and exemptions as are contained in fire policies, issued by members of the New Zealand Fire Underwriters’ Association. Storers, growers, or clients desiring to insure against damage resulting from earthquake, explosion, fire resulting from explosion, flood, tempest and/or other insurance risks exempted under the fire policy must notify us in writing detailing the extra risks required, on receipt of which every effort will be made to obtain the necessary cover at the expense of owners.

SPECIFICATIONS.—In all cases it is imperative that specifications and instructions be in the hands of selling brokers before wool reaches their stores.

ALLOCATION.—Growers are reminded that:—

(1) All wool to be offered must be in Broker’s store on closing day. Closing dates cannot be fixed ahead. As soon as sufficient wool has arrived into Broker’s Stores to fill limits fixed by the New Zealand Wool Committee, the list is closed. (2) Bookings of space for specific sales is not permissible; actual arrival is the only deciding factor. (3) Precedence will be, given to clips, in order of arrival into store. Limitation of catalogues and fixed closing dates are for the benefit of growers as a whole, and the Brokers have decided it is in the best interests of the industry not to depart from the above principles under any conditions whatever.

WOOLPACKS.—As one stripe is the recognized trade mark for 54-in. imported wool-packs, growers please note that irrespective of size, packs bearing one stripe will be charged the 54-in. pack tare of 12 lb. WET OR DAMP WOOL.—Brokers desire to draw the attention of growers to the numerous complaints received from buyers of the amount of WET and DAMP WOOL offered in past seasons, and would ask all growers in their own interests, to use Hie UTMOST CARE and SUPERVISION in seeing that SHEEP ARE DRY BEFORE SHEARING. Growers are further requested to be particularly careful in this matter, so as to AVOID ANY POSSIBLE CLAIMS THAT MAY ARISE. J. E. CUTHILL, Secretary.
