The quality is known, in the trade as bulk 46's. It is well grown, capital length, will 1 scour an excellent colour, and dje any shade perfectly. ' It will produce a very desirable top, spin well, and answer all manufacturing purposes From this fleetje one cannot hut be satisfied that the owner'is breeding on right lines, for such wool is always in demand for Home, Continental, and American requirements (Signed) t S B.
