ESTIMATED WOOL PRODUCTION.
Messrs Dalgety and Co. have just issued a clip estimates for the 1909-10 season as compared with the actual exports in 1908-9 and 1907-8. This shows an estimated increase of 100,000 bales as compared with last season, or 2,388,000 bales, against 2,288,000 bales. Last year, it is explained, there was an abnormal movement in wool shipments, a great deal of the 1907-8 clip being shipped in the 1908 9 season, as well as a large quantity ol ! what would have formed, had previous conditions prevailed, part of the 1909-10 clip. The quantity shipped out of season in 1908-9 is estimated at 150,000 bales. These facts explain why the estimated increase for 1909-10 is not set at higher figures. Following are the details of the Dalgety estimate:—

Bales. 1907-8 1,620,000 437,000 1908-9 1,796,000 492,000 1909-10 1,883,000 505,000 The number of sheep in the Commonwealth and the Dominion in the different seasons are as follow: Australia.
