WOOL PROSPECTS. At the Rank of New Zealand-meet-ing on Friday, Mr H. Beauchamp, Acting-Chairman, referred to the rise in the price of wool, which, he said, was in a great measure due to the steady increase in the importation of wool, notably fine crossbreds, into the United States of America. He added : “ As fl icks of sheep in America are decreasing rapidly in proportion to the increase in population. I think it more than probable that at no remote date we shall find a profitable market in that country for frozen mutton, as well as wool.” Mr Beauchamp quoted a trade journal to the effect that imports of wool into the United States for janupry last totalled over 25.000,0001 b, or an increase of 15,000,0001 b, as compared with the corresponding month last year. For the seven months commencing July Ist. the imports .aggregated i0g,412,0001b. as against 81,785,0001 b during the previous year for the same period. The value of the imports In 1904 5 was £21,882,000, of which £5.606,000 represented clothing wools, £3,047,000 combing, and £12,239,000 carpet wools.
