SELLING THE SURPLUS.

BRITISH VVOOL AUCTIONS IN AMERICA. PROBABLE REASONS; The New Zealand wool clip until HlO end of June next year is under commandeer to the I'fn‘perial authorities, so the official announcement that the British Government will auction 50.000 bales of Australian. and New Zealand fleeces in U.S.A. at the end of October is causing interest but no uneasiness here. Some of the wool sent out from New Zeaiand on the order of the Imperial Government went to America, but when the armistice was signed the States were removed from the dcstina. tion-list, and apart from the specially selected wcols that were sent to I‘~‘ranee most of the remaillder was shipped direct; to -London. I .

The clips of all the British Dominion and colonies, with the exception of South Africa, were likewise commandcered, the-~lzlnd of the veldt being omitted from the list because the periee originally offered was refused. and her wools, -cften of the very rough hairy Val'i.ety, somewhat like goa'.wool, \\'oru hf’? on the hands of the growers be» cause they «found out afterwards that they could not get them shipped away.

"wr pra<:'.ically speaking, during the war Great 81-itain supplied the Allies with their {vool wants, and now that the actual fighting‘ is over _circumstzmcos have conspired f-0 create the neces-

sity for ‘this action announced by the British Government.

It is apparent fhat England is gotiing more wool than her factories 09.11 use, and the surplus no longer goes ’r-;> America, whilethe exchange rate would bring :1 considerable loss if it were sold and sent there. America is cvi<lcnfl_\f ‘in :1 position where she would be ;:l::d to get high—gl-ade wools. She has always taken the. first-class fleeces, and probably the fact that the Australasian w-Cols are most suitable to her requirements will explain the decision of the Imperial GOV'efr»nwn’r to send these wcols over. . ‘ “Defer no t.ime——Delays are‘ Dangyerous. ’ ’——Shak:espeare..
