Wool disposal survey from Albany outlines Australia’s vast clip
Albany survey notes Australia produced 2,131,007 wool bales in the last season with Western Australia supplying 140,745 and Victoria about 600,000. Wool value exceeded £50,000,000, up 65 percent from pre war levels, and sales to Britain have steadied for two and a half years. Prices may hold through mid 1920, but future demand and postwar economic strain loom. High war debt, rebuilding costs, rising wages, and global labor unrest threaten industry.
