EXPORT OF MERINO WOOL
V PROHIBITED TO AMERICA IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST. Sydney, February 6. The stoppage of the export of merino wools to America has caused some consternation. The Americans' free buying has been one of the boom factors of the recent sales. Prior ito his departure for Melbourne last' night a deputation of wool buyers obtained .'Mr. Tudor's promise that the matter would be further considered at a Cabinet meeting on Monday. The issue of the proclamation was unavoidable, but if -it is possible to amend it it will doubtless be done. It transpires that the order was issued as the result of a dispatch from the Secretary of State for the Colonies. Mr. Fisher stated that there was good and sufficient reason for the stop but all it was advisable to.say at present was that the action was taken in the public interest. As the export of crossbred wool to the United States was previously prohibited, the new order means that- no ■ wool will be allowed to be shipped there. The sailing of the steamer Lord Erne with 10,754 bales, which !©1 cleared for Boston, has been stopped.
