NEW ZEALAND WOOL CLIP.
The general opinion regarding the last season's New Zealand clip was that there was some improvement in quality the proportion of very coarse wool not being: so large, states the annual report of the Department of Agriculture. There was a little improvement in the preparation of the wool tor market, but there is room for much further advance in this respect. ' The establisnment of wool-classing* classes in several districts is a step towards greater efficiency in dealing < with the farmer's most valuable product. The loss which is caused to manufacturers by the presente of jute-fibres in the wool has led to exhaustive investigations being made in England and elsewhere with a view to discovering n.oans of obviating the complaint. Whatever may be the decision arrived at, it will certainly involve the use of a more costly pack than the jute tare at present in general use. It may be suggested that in the meantime the evil may be mitigated by the present make of packs being used "outside-in"—tnat is,* with the dressed surface of the material next the wool.
