The news cabled last week stating that there had been an improvement in prices at the London wool , sales caused much satisfaction in New Zealand. The improvement in prices though more or less expected, was none the less welcome, and was due to 'the more satisfactory financial arrangements entered in io abroad. The increase in price is stated to mean an increase to the Now JZealand farmer of £1 to £1 10s per bale. The net production of wool in New Zealand for 'the 1930-31 season was 785,000 bales weighing 265,722,5001 b, or 3391 b per bale, as compared with 716,000 bales weighing 241,770,1001 b, and, averaging 3381 b in 1929-1930. Overseas shipments from New Zealand last year amounted to 644,587 bales, or 128,514,0931 - From this it wi|l be seen that even the smallest increase in ( the price per lb of wool means a tremendous sum to New Zealand,
