AUSTRALIA'S WOOL
EFFECT OF DRY SEASON The excessively dry season in Australia is responsible for a shrinkage in the wool clip noAV coming to Aus . tralia's seaboard for appraisement, and some estimates are being-made that the cheque for the year will be £57,000,000 as against nearly £65,000,000 last year, says a statement issued by the Australian Trade Commissioner, Mr C. E. Critchley. The numbers of sheep have declined slightly, and the average yield a sheep is down 5 per cent. Less wool will be available during the cuircnl year than last season, when 3,604,316 bales were shorn, and returns this season will not be augmented by the presence of large carry-over stocks, as was the case in 1939-40.
