On his return from Europe to Sydney this week, Mr. James Fastier, manager in Melbourne for Henry Ayrton and 00., wool buyers, of Bradford, said he had inspected tweed suits which were being manufactured in Russia from Australian wool, wtih British machinery, and sold in England at 30s, 355, and 37s Gd each. Ihe Russian mills, he said, were using all grades of wool, including locks, bellies, and pieces. Trade on the British, French, and Germaa markets was only hand-to-In Great Britain there was sore.disappointment about Australia's harsh tariff policy. Britain could not take Australian products indefinitely without some return. Russian competition was having a very serious effect on the sale of Australian wool, butter, and dried apples.
