WOOL TRADE IMPROVES
BRITISH EXPORT FIGURES. A survey of British exports of woollen and worsted fabrics for the half year ended June shows some interesting facts. Of the 49,682,000 square yards exported, 21,467,000 square yards were shipped to countries within the British Empire'. Compared with the similar period of the preceding year, the exports to all quarters showed an increase of 6,758,000 square yards, and of that total countries of the Empire provided 5,303,000 square yards. Canada was the best customer, but South Africa, the Irish Free State, and New Zealand were large buyers. Australia, a relatively small purchaser, took 855,000 square yards, an increase of 406,000 square yards on the 1933 total. The figures give some indication that British countries have made more progress towards prosperity than other nations. With the exception of Japan, Great Britain is the only great woollen manufacturing country which increased exports during the six months mentioned.
