The principal feature of the wool year has been that a record clip was shorn, the oversea exports having amounted to 2,468,750 bales, an increase of 34,107 bales on the shipments of the previous twelve months. Owing to a slightly lower level of prices, the average per bale was £12 10s. 4d., as compared with £13 12s. in the preceding season; but even at this rate the value of the clip was little over £30,000,000. It is a fact worthy of notice that the 2,000,000 bales limit in exports was reached for the first time in the year 1906-7, and that the past year's returns are nearly double those of 1903-4. There could not, therefore, be better proof of the marvellous recuperative powers of the country than is shown by these figures.
