For the first three months of the export year beginning July 1, 1948, the United Kingdom took a far greater quantity of wool from New Zealand than did any other country. In the list of 24 countries to which New Zealand wool was shipped in July, August and September/ this year, according to the New Zealand Wo6l Board, France was second to the United Kingdom, the United States of America third, and Canada fourth. Russia and Switzerland, to which New Zealand had sent wool in the past, took no wool from the Dominion in the three months under review, but most other Continental countries, and even Australia, the world’s greatest wool producer, found a place on the list of New Zealand exports. The total number of bales shipped from New Zealand in the quarter was 298,531, consisting of 207,981 greasy, 44,210 slipe and 46,340 scoured.
