AUSTRALIAN WOOL
SERIOUS SHIPPING DELAYS NOT A BALE DISPATCHED FOR FIVE WEEKS. STEAMERS WAITING IN PORTS. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received This Day, 11.55 a.m.) SYDNEY.. This Day. I The “Sydney Morning Herald" says serious delays have occurred in shipping Australian wool to England under the Biitish purchase plan'. It is learned that not a single bale of wool has been shipped abroad since the British Government announced in the first week of the war, that it would buy the whole Australian wool clip. In the succeeding five weeks steamers left Australia with holds only partly filled and other freighters have been held up in Australian ports for weeks awaiting cargoes. It is estimated that more than a million bales have been lying in ports awaiting shipment for six weeks. Representatives of leading wool selling firms said the shipping delays evidently were due to the desire of the Central Wool Committee to postpone the appraisement of the clip until the purchase price had boon ascertained.
