THE Kaipara Advertiser, AND WAITEMATA CHRONICLE. WEDNESDAY, DEC. 11, 1912. WOOL IS WOOL

The wool sales hayo begun a merry career in the Dominion, the American 1-myer is in evidence and in force, an J the brokers are chuckling- at a net advance in the main of two pence in

the pound, Every possessor of forty thousand sheep—quite a small flock once upon a time in these countries— with average of six pounds sees a couple of thousands sticking out with appetising relief. It is a measure for every one to apply to himself. The brokers all say " don't instruct to hold over for a limit," and some of them speak of the local market as never to be passed. On these points one does not like to say much to the producer. One can not help pointing out however that one broker has announced getting top price for superCorriedales with thirteen pence halfpenny. Now this is the sheep which Mr Murphy once declared had become established as the best type for the freezer who wants good carcase and good -wool too. One moral of the good time is that breeders should consider yery carefully the merits of the Corriedale breed. To the general public it is splendid that just as the bank (B. N. Z.) is telling us how awfully bad the financial prospects are, good old wool has found us a bank bigger than all the banks put together, for if the rise lasts the amount of squaring off will be phenomenal and the amount of saving will not be inconsiderable.
