GOVERNMENT BUYS
ALL ENGLISH WOOL
Growers Not Satisfied With
Price, 80 Per Cent Above
Peace Level {
BY Hop

London, July 5.-(Correspondenc of
the Associated Press -Since the close
of the last colonial wool auctions in
teresting developments have occurred
in the wool trade. The war trade de-
partment suddenly decided on taking
a census of the wool stocks in Great
Britain and, without publishing the re-
suits, announced that no sale or deal
ings in English grown wool were to
be allowed, consequently all English
and Scotch wool fairs were Cancelled.
AS the clip is about due traders with
contracts arranged were anxious but
they had hardly expressed their sur
prise and establishment when the gov
eminent suddenly announced they
would buy the whole of the English,
Scotch and Irish output for the season
1916, at prices on the basis ruling be-
fore the war plus 80 per cent. This is
considered by farmers to be fnsutlI-
,cient to meet the advance in other
commodities and Populations are being
sent to the war office with view of
getting better terms.
Just what the idea of the authori-
ties is in buying the whole of the clip,
it is difficult to determine unless it be
that they have designs on the Austra1-
ian clip as well, or to fix maximum
prices for future sales in London and
other centers.
A belief prevails that by holding up
the English clip (Which for 1915 to-
tailed about 1872 100000 pounds) ar in
creased demand will be experienced for
New Zealand .crossbred wool and prices
at the sales in July will be dearer I'M
less the authorities decide to fix prices
in the meantime.
In the manufacturing centers comb
ing charges have again been raised
and while topmakers are trying to get
an extension of old contract prices. ~
wool combing employees have come out
on strike for more money, thus add
ing to the existing difficulties of the
trade generally. The labor situation
is so acute that topmakers have de-
cided to insert a clause in future con-
tracts that sellers reserve the power
to add to contract price according to
increased charges made in combinK."
AS far as the London market Is con-
cerned little business is being done in
Australian wool in view Of the uncer-
tainties existing, but where inquiries
have been made for raw material SELL
ers ask higher quotations than those
ruling at the beginning of this month.
Best merino 64s tops are being quoted
at the high price of As per pound
against 3-S this time last year and rs
in June, 1914
Export yarn business Is practically
at standstill and even France is I'M
able to get more than a very small
proportion of her requirements owing
to the strictness of the embargo con-
ditions.
