Late Sales in the East Not as
Good as Expected; Austra
. lian Season Most Prosper
, ous in industry's History.
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.

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. -

The market for cattle waa dull, with
