LIMIT ON OFFERINGS

(By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. A maximum limit of 24,000 bales for each wool sale on the 1938-39 roster was announced yesterday by the New Zealand Wool Committee, which has issued the following official statement: In April last the wool committee convened a conference which was held at Christchurch to discuss the question of a greater spread of the .wool sales for the 1938-39 roster. At this conference, which was attended by members of the wool committee, and representatives of the wool-growers, wool-brokers and woolbuyers, certain recommendations were agreed upon with a view to improving the wool-selling conditions in New Zealand. These were in the direction of providing that where practicable, not more than 24,000 bales be catalogued at the one centre, and, in order to carry this into effect, the roster to be extended as required. . These proposals were supported by the International Wool Conference held in London in June, when the conference agreed to a recommendation from New Zealand wool interests that when market conditions warrant, offerings should be limited to a maxi-

mu mof 24,000 bales. At its meeting yesterday the New Zealand Wool Committee, which comprises representatives of the pro-

ducers, wool-brokers and wool-buyers, gave consideration to the question of regplating the offerings of wool at the sales to be held throughout the Do-

minion during the forthcoming season, having regard to the foregoing recommendations. The maximum aggregate quantities of wool which may be offered at the various sales Were fixed as follows: —
