Author Description

Excerpt from World Wool Prospects, Vol. 75: July 31, 1934 Was smaller than in the same months of any recent year. The New York Wool Exchange Service reported a slight improvement in wool goods business the middle of July, but markets as a whole are unusually quiet for this time of the year. The nearness of the fall buying season may result in some increase in mill activity in the next few months. Rough estimates of wool production for nine 1/ countries, based mostly on present sheep and weather conditions, and including a few preliminary estimates, indicate an increase of about 2 percent in 1934 as compared with 1933. In 1933 these nine countries produced about two - thirds of the world total production, exclusive of Russia and China. Production in the United States is expected to be about the same as in 1933, increases are indicated for Australia, New Zealand, and countries of southeastern Europe with de creases probable in the Union of South Africa, England and Wales, Franco and Germany.
