♦ The United Kingdom Government paid an average of 12.25 d. per pound greasy wool and 16.976 d. per pound slipe wool on the quantities exported, it is now agreed that these average prices apply to the whole wool-clip (used for local manufacture as well as export), and the above payment represents the adjustment for the 1939-40 and the ID4O-41 seasons.
