Soaring Wool Prices
In Australia May Raise
Cost of Suits Here I
By th« Associated Press
SYDNEY, May 20.—Your new suit
may cost more because of soaring
prices on the Australian wool
market.
Sensational prices were paid on
the third day of the Brisbane auc
tions, where wool today averaged
more than £70 (about $210) a bale.
This was £21 more than the aver
age per bale for the 10 months
ended April 30. The approximate
weight of a bale is 310 pounds.
With a world hungry for wool.
Australia took in nearly £17,000,000
(about $55,000,000) from April wool
sales. Prices were up 56 per cent;
over the preceding year.
America has not bought heavily
in this year's sales and some local
traders feel she has “missed the
bus.” Certainly American buyers
who held off the market in the
present Australian season hoping
for a fall in price now find them
selves in a tough spot.
English Buy Heavily.
Why did prices rise so sharply in
the present season?
An American Government wool
expert in Sydney gave these
reasons:
When the United States was buy
ing in the Australian market last
year she was not competing with
the same factors. Representatives
of great English wool buyers held
off last year, but this season they
bought heavily and prices shot up.
Further factors in the Australian
market were activities of buyers for
Germany, Japan and now Russia.
Thus there were many competitors
for the higher grades of wool which
America prefers.
Russians Bid High.
The American expert pointed out
that SCAP at Tokyo was buying the
finer and more expensive grades of
wool as well as cheaper grades.
Russian consignments go to Black
Sea ports. British government ac
tion in arranging a trade treaty
with the Soviet Union made this
business possible.
Sensational bidding by the Rus
sians was a high light of the third
day of the Brisbane sales. Prices
were up to 5 per cent above Mon
day’s record opening rates.
Offerings of 11,500 bales were
fully cleared.
