The announcement of further government orders equivalent to 100 million pounds of grease wool, or more, led the mills evi dently to anticipate their re quirements. Hence, they bought contracts from the dealers of wool vet to be shorn very freely, around S1.00 to S1.05 for aver age to choice fine wools and around 97-98 cents for half-blood wools, scoured basis. They also bought further sizable weights of foreign half-blood and fine wools at firm prices. "Dealers were thus spurred on to further contracting in the1 west and it is estimated that ful ly 80 million pounds of the new clip are under contract, mostly unshorn. Prices being paid range from 30 to 40 cents according to the character and staple of the wool, with most of the business nround 35 cents for both medium and finer clips. "Foreign markets are rather quiet but very firm. Cloth buyers lor iiviuan nuv noses are finding it rather diffi cult to place contracts, in the face of the huge government or ders.

The British embassy at Wash ington announced today that "air craft are being flown" to its forces in the far east from the west coast of the United States. Although indicating that pow erful bomber reinforcements were being sent to the British at Singapore, the embassy declined to give any further details. "We can say nothing about the numbers, types, or routes of these aircraft," an official said. Nazis Deal Fresh Blows The nazl luftwaffe was strik ing hard, meanwhile, to short-circuit Britain's shipping communi cations. Berlin said nazi bombers attacked 10 ships totalling 45, 000 tons within the past 24 hours, sinking four totalling about 14, 500 tons. Four others were re ported "heavily damaged." A source close to German offi cialdom explained that Gorman U-boats were sinking compara tively few British ships because "many of the U-boat crews are engaged in preparation for the big offensive which Hitler pro claimed." German night raiders again bombed the South Wales port of Swansea, following ud Wednes day night's attack, and the Brit ish acknowledged "extensive damage" from showers of incen diary and high-explosive bombs.
