SHIPMENT OF WOOL,

Farmers will be pleased to learn that satisfactory arrangsments have -been made for the shipment of wool sold at the last Auckland sale. Two steamers are due to load this week, and these, with another loading on the 25th insf, will practically clear the balance of the wool sold.

The exceptional conditions under which the wool 'was sold, has, of necessity, delayed payment to growers, but this has entailed no hardship or inconvenience to growers, for the brokers have, at all times, been willing to make liberal cash advances against the wool sold, though payment has not been actually .received by them.

When the shortage of tonnage is taken into account, it must be admitted that the wool-grower in the Auckland Province has cause for congratulation in obtaining such early dispatch for his wool.

Unless some unforseen delay occurs, the Auckland wool brokers anticipate that all A/c sales and cheques will be forwarded to their clients not later than the end of the present week.
