THE SCOURING of WOOLS.

Mr I Collier's Process.

•Mr Thomas Collier, of Masterton, has received from Mr Fred, Williams, ol Galloway station, Otago, a communication having reference to the result of the cold scouring process for the past year, The patent right belongs to Mr Collier. Mr Williams Bays that the cold scoured wool has stood the test of the market, and ■ Bhows a clear profit of 3 and 5-83rds of apennyperpoundaboveecoared wool pf theßame quality. Thisjsobvioustyan enormous gain. Unfortunately in the Jjondon office of Messrs Campbell and Bops, Limited, (hey appear to havo ignored the difference in the loss oi weight in the scouring by the two processes and only to'liavo noticed that the cold-BCOuted wool was not so brigbtorgoodacoloras the hot scoured and in anything they have said, have complained of this <wi thtofln "jcold water" on the cold scouring. £ In fact they held over the wool until it was too late to do it "cold" this year, even had they wished it, the rejnlt being"that al| tho wool was hqt scoured, Mr tyiiliains is writing tjie firm 'it full report upon the matter, and- has drawn their attention to the fact that their negligence to make up the returns for.themselves has lost them upwards of igOQO, He b.as.no doubt bis report will awaken them and that the wool will next year be cold scoured. He show by figures the advantages to be derived by coldscouring, and expresses the opinion thatffhen Mr Collier's process becomes known it will be greatly in demand,
