WAIRARAPA WOOLS IN THE LONDON MARKETS.

SOME MAY SALES. A perusal of catalogues to hand show most satisfactory returns, es- ! pecially for those clips which have j been marketed in an up-to-date nranner and which were suitable far the j American trade. Lambs wool of J which there was a shortage in consequence of many pastorgjists abstainI ing from shearing their lambs, | brought high figures ranging for ' many parcels up tj 9d per lb. It ; cannot but be remarked in studying ! a catalogue of New Zealand wools | how many classes it is broken up into, and what a number of design- ■ ations are applied in describing it. •Surely some system might, with ' advantage, be evolved to ensure uniformity of description. Thijugh attention has been directed by.London wool brokers to the disadvantage of branding and cataloguing New Zealand wool of the English names of the breeds, such as Lincolns, Leicester, and Romney—the practice in a large measure still obtains. Turn ing to a curcuiar issued on the subject it is stated that wuol so designated is liable to a duty of £d par lb when entering America, and that buyers when purchasing allow for having to pay this extra cost. A half-penny per pound spells a loss of 16s 8d on every 4001b bale of woo!. Inasmuch as America is one of our best customer,} for the finer grade of crossbred, it is a subject of some importance to our sheep farmers that attention should be given to the designation given to the wool. The following extracts from the May sales show price 3 realised by some well known local clips, the wool being all in grease:—
