A SURPLUS OF WOOL'. DOCK WAREHOUSES CON'GiiSTED. (Times and Sydney Sun Services,)' Received August 10, 9 p.m. 'London, Augmst 16. Tihc congestion at London docks has seriously affected wool shipments. Since the war 'began London has practically been the only port receiving Brittah imports of wool. For the first seven months of 1015 the total represents Gl : 9.800,000 lb, compared with 540,700,994 lb for tiie same period last year. The exports have decreased enormously, thus precipitating the congestion, and the home demand, despite the huge requirements of the military authorities, is insufficient to relieve the congestion. In consequence, the Government has notified the Bradford Chamber of Commerce that unless traders remove wool from the docks and warehouses the Government will remove it regardless of cost. The wool traders consider this harsh treatment, as there are huge quantities of crossbred wool available, and if the War Office does not want these immediately the exporters urge that they ought to -be allowed to export to allied manufacturers and America, who w&at crossbreds. ~../r '
