Association, and Mr Jamieson, assistant manager, .sent a telegram to Mr Massey stating .that considerable misapprehension exists amongst the Association's clients regarding the purchase of wool, and asking if Mr Massey had completed the sale to the Imperial authorities, or if he required the further consent of farmers. To-day Mr Massey sent the following reply: 'When in England, I was satisfied that it was in the interests of New Zealand, that the present arrangements with regard to wool should continue for a full season after peace was declared, and I then made certain arrangements witli representatives pf the Imperial authorities which will be adhered to.

There is no occasion for any anxiety on the part of the producers*
