CROSSBRED WOOLS.
The' frozen meat trade is. not the only industry in New Zealand which requires the attention of producers. The quality of the wool, sent Home this year has ibeen adversely commented upon by buyers generally. The special London correspondent of Dalgety's Review writes:— "I was very much struck at the January series in London at many of the New Zealand crack clips being distinctly worse than they were a year ago. All this undoubtedly has an important bearing upon the trade, and I am just afraid that the large use of the Romney Marsh ram is going to be responsible for the surfeit of medium crossbred wool, causing a scarcer supply of long combing fleece. I would here utter a word of warning abouti New Zealand , pastoralists sticking to one breed of isheep. Use the Romney, I -say, where it is best suited, bjit if the Leicester and Lincoin does as well, then stick to these. The fact is remarkable that the highest priced crossbred 1 wool sold in London during the last half a dozen years has been between the merino ewe and the Leicester ram, and this fact is noteworthy.''
