Prices on Canâ€" |‘ adian wool have been so high that Canadian manufacturers have found that they could purchase foreign wools | of similar grades, and we can naturâ€" !ally expect that the Canadian manuâ€" l1’nr:tur'er will continue to use his stock on hand, and to import foreign wools ! as long as possible, or until the price | of Canadian wools have adjusted themselves so that he may purchase our native wool as cheap as the foreign importations. l Very similar conditions exist in the Canadian wool situation toâ€"day. Statâ€" istics show that on January 1, 1916, there were on hand in Canada over 3,000,000 pounds of wool. This is equal to about one quarter of the anâ€" be able to compete with the foreign and domestic clip, and the large quanâ€" tities of wool that are now on hand in the States has a tendency to, and unâ€" doubtedly will, place Canadian wools on lower range of prices than has preâ€" vailed in Canada during the past few months.

Another item that is of interest to the Canadian wool grower and dealâ€" er, is the fact that there is a conâ€" siderable quantity of Canadian wool in the hands of the dealers of the United States that was exported to that country last year, as they have been unable to dispose of the wool at a profit. j United States‘ buyers also purchasâ€" ed great quantities of wool in Austraâ€" lia last year after the embargo â€" was lifted, paying higher prices for the Australian wool than their English competitors, and as long as a permit to export wool from London could be secured, they also purchased large quantities of wool on that market, so that statistics show that on January 1, 1916, there was on hand in the Unibed States 102,092,429 pounds â€" of wool, which was a larger amount than was on hand on the first of January of any year since 1912. Argentina is one of the great wool producing countries of the world, and up to a couple of years ago, shipped a majority of her wool to England, yet in 1915 out of a total of 322,001 bales of wool exported, 140,521 bales, or over 40 per cent. of the total amount of wool exported, was shipâ€" ped to the United States, who was her best wool customer during that year. m‘ _ They say that the centipede has one r. | hundred legs, but the centipede would g | run short of legs if he should attempt n |to place one on each angle that has g | to be considered in determining the e. | prices of wool this year," said Mr. q | John Hallam, the large Toronto wool e ‘ buyer, "for there are so many eleâ€" râ€"| ments entering into the price of wool e |and so many contingencies to be conâ€" 1 | sidered, that growers and buyers c alike will have to be very conservaâ€" , |tive and use good judgment or they , | will find that they have lost money on n | the season‘s business. e| Prices on wool in Canada are high; | y in fact extremely high, and the Canâ€" | y ’ adian wool grower is receiving prices | e |for his wool boâ€"day that far exceeds ‘ : his wildest dreams of a few years ago, | " ‘ yet optimistic human nature is so conâ€" | % ; stituted, that although we have in the [ ; present more than we expected in the ‘ |past, we look for more in the future |© ; than we have in the present; this is | .!probably the reason that some growâ€" " ‘|ers are looking for still higher prices !t for their woolâ€"whether they _ will t receive them or not, depends on the t | basic principle of supply and demand | |modified by the unusual conditions exâ€" | & |isting toâ€"day, a few of which we will | 2 | now consider. | t | _ Wool of different grades is adapted | P for different uses, more wool of some | 1 grades is produced in Canada than we U can use to advantage, while we reâ€" | t quire wool of other grades to meet our £ |requirements; hence we must find a | P market for our surplus wool of some | t 'grades and purchase and import wool ; P | of other grades to supply our wants. | de | _For the twelve months ending â€" in 51'3 January, 1916, there was imported for | S« consumption in Canada wool and manâ€" f ce ufactures of wool of the value of $27,â€" | P 137,969, of which $6,006,770 worth was | th imported from the United States, the t value of the importations from the P United States alone being _ about 4A touble the value of the wool clip of ; at Canada for that year.
