GREATBRITIAN
MAKES HUGE sum
MARKETING WOOL

That the action of the British Gov
eminent in entering into the wool
market at the dangerous time fol-
lowing the war was a wise move is
shown by the following extract from
the New York Daily News Record,
submitted by Kleber Hadsell, vice
president OF the Wyoming Wool
Grower association. The British
government, 1t may be remembered
came to the relief of her wool pro-
ducers when. following the war de-
mand and its sudden explosion,
there was a surplus of three billion
pounds of this product upon their
hands. This action netted the Brit
ish Empire many millions Of profit,
as contrasted to the action of this
country In entering into direct COM
petition with the wool growers Of
this country by throwing its accum-
ulations of wool upon the domestic
market and breaking 1t wide open
The move by the British is called
The British-Austrailian Wool Reali-
cation Observation-Disclosures to the
cryptic word of Bawra in publica-
tons dealing with the situation. The
Daily News Records article follows:
Bradford, March 1T was stated
in the House Of Commons last Mon
day by the financial secretary 70 the
Treasury thae up-to-date Bawra had
paid 2.S31,144 pounds as the net re-
suits Of wool sold on Government &C
count. Nobody engaged in the wool
trade is the least surprised by this
announcement. for the sale of the
Government purchased wool from
our colonies from 1917 to 1920 has
proved very profitable. Half the
profits realized were to go back to
the Colonial wool growers and half
to be retained by the Government,
and the surplus will be greater still
when all Bawra's wool has been sold.
The figures showing the quantity of
wool still ucsold at the end OF Febr-
uary have not yet been published,
but 1t will be under 100. 900 bales.
Last Friday a further 10000 bales
were disposed of at Hull, while at
Liverpool this week, 1880 bales are
to be cataloged. This means that by
h end Of April practically all of
Bawra's stocks will have been sold.
and the mountain of wool which
was expected to fall upon the trade
4 X an avalanche. will have been en-
tirely disposed of. 1t is almost in
comprehensive that the trade has
absorbed a surplus Of 100000
bales of wool in about three years,
and this. without any zeal debacIe.
1t Is quite true that from July, 1920,
to July, 1921, there was the greatest
slump in history. brt prices did not
fall to n record low level.
