If anything ha oeen empha'zd by thi3 sracn'e wool market it i3 that tie finest grades cf wool are in greater de xnand than supply, and that the milf owners are wilsirg to pay a premium for such sees. There ia at preset t an astnal famine of fine wool in thisciun try.

If cheap grades of wool continue high they will m?ke some money on thir speculation, but if the country siouli suddenly get &11 this wool needed there would be a 1op.
