The past wool season in Australia has
been highly profitable one, and not
only have prices been satisfactory, but
the clip is the largest on record 1t is
estimated that during the season 1885,
900 bales were exported, against 49,, 900
in 1850. and 1850 bales in 1878.
4 competent authority estimates that
the total value Of the clip at Australian
ports was about e23,0O0, 600, against q
little over e2l 100000 for 1889, and
about Ell 800, 600 for 1878 The squat
ting companies and the banks, which
are largely interested in stations, have
during the last two years been able to
materially strengthen their position with
respect to the pastoral industry. There
Is every prospect that. owing to the vast
ness Of the Improvements made on the
runs, especially in the storage of water,
the industry will suffer fewer vicissi-
tudes from drought in the future than
has been the case in the past, and that
the production of wool will steadily
progress. Dry Goods Chronicle
