There Is a very quiet tone in tha local wool market at this time. The season here Is about closed and little wool Is now. offering, Dealers are very much disappointed .at recent returna from Bost&n, prices generally being about 'lc lower. The following report of the wool trade of, Australia by Vlce-Consul General Henry D. Baker of SviIhav la hunfn of 'much intorest to the trade here: ; .The statistical year for the wool trade of Australasia, including Australia, Tas mania and NftW y.enlanii whl.h nlnua no July 1,-lillO, is considered to have been iiio lauot prunpei-ous year in the History of the wool trade of Australasia,, This has been due to abundant rainfall, which has helped tha growth of plenty of feed for the sheep, and to high prices in the market for wool . . . . The flocks of sheep In Australia and New Zealand increased during tho year f'-V7?'.8.14 head' the total being now llS.5J5.6sl head, a higher number than at any period during the past 16 years, and approaching the record of tha year 1891, when -the figures reached 124,991, 920. The sheep have also shown a greater production of wool per capita than in previous years. The actual over sea shipments of wool during the past 13 months have amounted to 1,921,705 bales from Atttralta-and-6U,938 bales from New Zealand, a-total of no less than . 2,434,643 bales, or 816,861,665 pounds, valued at $161,004,490, an in crease of 146,639 bales, or 60,271.602 pounds, and in money value $34,953,058, as compared with the record clip of the previous (1908-9) season. The past year's figures sre nearly double those of the year 1903-4. Where the Wool Goes. The distribution or purchases in Aus tralasia in the past season 1909-10) has been as follows: . , ''--:.':. J Bales. P.C. United Kingdom 629.949 28 Continent of Europe. ..... 1,107,829 59 United States and Canada. 137,491 ' 7 Japan, China and India.. 22,591 y 1 Local manufacturers, etc, .; . 91,885 5 ' Total .... . . ........ ;:i,889,745 -The most' Important -features of the year's buying - of -Australian wool, ac cording to Dalgety's Wool Review, .pub lished at Sydney, were the support ac corded to cross breds, the scope of the American demand, and the concentra tion of the world's buy irig 'power in the local Australian markets. The selection of wool submitted to public auction at the colonial centers has this year com prised about' 77 per cent., of tha total production. , The American demand has been the most important factor. In mak ing for hi sb, prices, and this demand has been locased at Australian centers rather than at London. - The total quan tity of wool bought direct for the year 1909-10 for the llnlted fttntai in Ana. tralasia amounted to 137,491 bales, as against 69,600 bales bought during the year ended December 81, 1909, for Amer ican account in London, -" With relation to the " American de mand during the past season, Dalgety's Review states: - , . "American orders were In the market from the very inception of the sales, and buyers for the United. States not only took the lion's share of the top lots of merino fleece, but bulky free pieces as well, while their consistent support of cross bred of almost ' all grades was one or the features of the year.. During the first few months they favored merinos and the finer grains of viubb ureas; nui as me season advanced uieir support was centered more on coarse wools. This move oh their part resulted, of course, in the general run of super merinos, come backs and , fine cross breds declining, and the coarse grades appreciating in value." Dealing with the seann generally, the scone of the American demand tnr. omu breds was so great that wools which in previous years , tney wotUd have uanacu vy uii nils uccasion came WlinW the "charmed circle" of .their demand, both in Australia and New Zealand. The fact of It being knowr that reports abottt-tire-decreaser and-tfetertoTatioh la the Bouth American clip were being uorno oui. Dy aciuai results no aoubt accounted to a great extent for the' in creased attentton paid to cross bred wool by United States buyers for Aus tralasia The best customers for Australia, year In and year out have been France and Germany, and both" these countries hav consistently .supported the market dur ing me past iz montns, showing a par tiality' for flae haired wools, hut this year, also evincing greater favor for urues urea pieces. 1 l no tinned States took 187,491 bales,, as compared with 116,662 bales the preceding year. Scot land, as customary, took the usual pro portion of super combings and sec used a larger share than usual of good and super lambs to t used in the produc tion of fine flannel broadcloth and coat ings. Belgium and Switzerland took principally merinos, japan has bought both cross breds and merinos and has imported hot only increased quantities of raw wool, but also considerable amounts of combed wool from Sydney. Popularity of noss Sreds. There appear to be several contribu tory causes to the Increased demand for cross bred wool, but it is Relieved here that the principal cause has been the decrease in the output from Argentina and the poor character of the clip from that country, where the wool Is nearlv all from cross bred sheep. Also the great Improvement in machinery, es pecially in the finishing processes, has enabled the finer grades of cross bred wool to be worked up to resemble merino and used to a certain extent in lieu of the same. As Illustrating the increased use of cross bred wool. It might be mentioned that the Turkish government recently placed an order for 1,600.000 square yards made -from cross bred wool for khaki cloth. The. use of cross bred wool from Australia In the United States seems due largely, to economy on the part of the manufacturers, because' of the lesser percentage of, grease it con tains. As an example, the duty on greasy wool in the United States is 11 cents. A good quality cross bred will yield, on the averasre. about 70 fine pn or clean wojl, so that duty Is only paid on 30 per cent . of grease and - dirt, whereas a good merino will not yield more than about 60 per cent of -clean wool, so that duty has to be paid on 60 per cent 'of grease and dirt : , It is presumed here, also; that ; the much higher : prices -for 'cotton in -thi United States; the advances havlns- been much greater relatively than for wool, have accounted in-some measure fbr the extremely strong demand for' Australian wooi during me part season. - CATTLE LOWER TODAY IN CHICAGO YARDS Chicago.
