Wool is realising exceptionally ihigh prices in London (states a contemporary). As tall a figure as 40(1. per lb. has been paid for very select lines, and the average may be stated as from 28(1. to 30d. This does not, however, mean that th« Imperial Government, in now releasing commandeered wool, are mailing enormous profits. It may appear to to outsiders. Persons who are m tho trade, and presumably growers also, will understand tho true position, and for, the benefit of those who know only what theiy read we may in a few words outline what tho true position is. The New Zealand wools now in the auctions are for the most part those that were shorn as far back as 1916 and 1917, and held here in store because there was no possibility of shipping them to England. Charges on theso wools have consequently accu. mulated—storage charges, insurance, mid interest (the latter a big oonsider. ation theso days)—and on top of those there were very high freight charges. With nil these p,ilod-up expenses, to sny nothing of incidentals, the wool would have to bring high prices to avoid loss. Then there is the further factor that the Home manufacturers have been out of i wool, and, being eager to start again, thev are practically compelled to buy anything at any prico. Theirs would be a quite different position if they had been able to carry on, even at a reduced pace, during war time. The circumstances show that the market is at pre sent abnormal, and, though prophesying is unwise, the growers may count themselves very fortunate if prices continue on the noiv existing level. The immediate cause of tho common cold is the sudden closing of the pores of the skin, duo to a chill—a draught, for instance. The poisons of the body are then unajdo to escape through the pores, but go inwards and produce irritation, , and Nature endeavours to puss I them o(T through tho lungs. This causes a "cold," with accompanying coughing.! A speedy and efficient means of relieving congestion is to take Baxter's Lting Preserver, which acts directly on the lungs, thins the phlegm, throws off inflammation, helps the hmgs to cairy off poisons. It also promotes the health of the wholo system, brings its condition back to normal, and- enables 'tha skin to work in tho natural way. Those who have used Baxter's Lun" I'ivsoitct call it the "Magic Mixture.' because it acts rapidly and like a charm. Tost its merits—you will bo delighted.
