RECORD WOOL EXPORT.
Per Press Association. Wellington, January 17,
The quantity of wool sent away from New Zealand by steamers that cleared the port of Wellington last week exceeds any shipment for a corresponding period. So far this season it amounts in all to about 50,000 bales. This large quantity, valued at an average of, say, £ll per bale, equals over half a million sterling. The greater proportion of it is for the London market, the rest having been sold at the recent wool sales, The Opawa has taken the lion's share (some 17,732 bales, of which Wellington contributed 10,244 bales). The Arawa took 16,479, bales, , the Rimutaka 8663, and the Star of New Zealand about 7000 bales. *
