WOOL DISAPPOINTS
WELLINGTON VALUES APPRAISAL OF 36,737 BALES (By Telegrar'li.—Press Association) WELLINGTON, Tuesday The Wellington Woolbrokers’ Association reports that the third appraisement commenced on February 7 and concluded on February 11. Approximately 34,500 bales of greasy and 2237 bales of slipe wool were valued. Owing to the unfavourable pastoral conditions experienced from autumn till spring, the appraisement in general was far below normal standards, in respect of both growth and colour. Many noted Wairarapa clips were very disappointing, being thin , in staple and inclined to be tender and off in colour. Lamb’s wool was in plentiful supply, and contrary to ewe wool was | fairly well grown, lambs having evidently done well in the spring. Many parcels ranged from 14d to j 15id, with an odd lot at 16d. The next appraisement on March 15 will practically clean up the season’s clip from this district. It consists mainly of back country clips and cull ewe wool from the down lambs trade.
