Tke quantities of wool delivered to local mills from 1916 to 1922 amounted to 132,400 bales, of which over Toper cent, was distributed from South Island centres. The local mills compete for the best class of wools, and frequently their euyers 5 bide top the-market at the wool sales. According to the statements reported as recently made by Sir Arthur Gold finch, there is likely to be a strong demand for the world's requirements for some years to come. Milling is the indispensable process of converting the raw material into the, finished article. But whether wool be dear or cheap, the people's re quirements must be catered for, and it follows that strong demand for wool means activity i» the woollen manufacturing business. If the highest ex perts are correct in their forecasts, the prospects for .woollen milling are distinctly bright. WOOLGROWERS AS SHAREHOLDERS. The establishment of a Woollen Mills Company in which the producers are themselves interested will not only enhance the value of the concern, but will tend to consolidate and improve the position of woolgrowers.
