NEW ZEALAND WOOL IN LONDON.

SALE OF THE “SIBERIA” CLIP. The following report by Mr. S. B. Holiings, the world-famous wool expert of Bradford, on Mr. Arthur Harding’s well-known “Siberia” clip, sold at the May series of sales in London, makes interesting reading:— ’ The well-known New Zealand clip, AH over Siberia, was sold in London at the May series of sales, and commanded extremelv keen competition, the crossbreds selling up to 13-Jd for America. This clip has been better classed than last year, and sold extremely well. It was in good condition, the wool showing a good length of staple and good lustre. It mad© 2d to 2|d more than it would in March. Its scouring properties were Al, and it will give satisfactory results in all the manufacturing processes it goes through. (Signed) S. B. Holiings. To grow a fleece that is sound, lustrous, and possessed of the best spinning qualities is, or should be, the object of every breeder of sheep ; for such wools always command top prices. To attain this end the flock must be kept free from parasitic filth of all kinds, and enabled to make the most of the feed provided for them. For some years past the “Siberia” flock has been regularly dipned in Quibell’s Powder lUp, the preparation of which every sheep-owner of note throughout, the world to-day who has given it a trial on even terms against the most largely advertised dips speaks in terms of unqualified praise. Sheep-owners want, results, and tlio best can. be obtained by the use of Quibell’s Dip. So the world’s most famous pastoralists say.
