The fact that some woolgrowers are reported to be shearing this week willin •< few days of heavy rains has caused some comment locally. Wet-shorn wool naturally is heavier than wu< n dry, and it is stated authoritatively that buyers in the past have sufferol considerable losses through sheep being shorn when their wool was wet. I Ono buyer is said to have lost £B'iu on one purchase. In consequence of complaints from buyers growers whos" wool shows loss of weight will have meet debit notes from brokers. It is also stated that some of last season’s clips, when opened up in England and the Continent have been found to be falsely packed by rougher wools being put in the centre of the bales.
