The Sub-branch will meet in the R.8 L. Hall on Friday February to review plans. Ramsay Street in Cloncurry hosts the event at 8 pm. Razors honed and sharpened.
His Highness the Duke of Edinburgh attended the opening of the London December Wool Sales in Coleman Street. He viewed samples of Australian and New Zealand clips with trade leaders and officials before the sale began, expressing hope for a good season amid strong prices for certain merino and crossbred lots and noting buying interest remained sustained.
Australian wool sale notes topmaking merinos and fleece clips dominating offerings with prices off up to 20 percent from October in London. Skirtings sell well despite faults, and braced by competition from Bradford and the Continent with some lots at or above primary rates. Queensland ABERFOYLE lots reach 110d and Western Australia clips hit 100d for 64s warp. Merinos and skin wools show strong demand, while overall sentiment hints at steadier or improved outcomes for the remaining series.
The saleroom was crowded as 8,207 bales were offered with strong competition and firm values. Buyers from the Home Trade dominated bidding with support from the Continent and the United States, including France and Belgium.
