Wool and Cotton Prices Shift in 1937 Market
Price trends show wool retreating since December while cotton edges up to 4.974 in English currency. Cotton remains cheaper than its March peak as global demand and Japanese and American buying uncertainty restrain wool markets. Bradford merino tops fell 10 percent to 28 1/2d per lb, with imports and substitutes altering the industry. Germany moves to support long-term wool supply despite a broad slump, while stock levels and prices reflect a war-era shift toward textiles. The upcoming Sydney sales are slated for late January and February.

Fire Ruins Bulk Store Behind Miles Ahead Building
A fire destroyed a rear bulk store in Condobolin near the Miles Ahead Building on main street. The uninsured garage owned by Mr. L. Mile housed radio goods used by Mr. A. Hawke. Authorities suspect the incendiary caused by an incinerator near the Miles Abend building. Hawke estimates losses including radio gear and a lighting plant at £40, with limited coverage for new wireless sets. Weather notes show last year’s rainfall at 108 points, six inches below average, with recent storms easing farmers’ water shortage. In cricket, Detition round two has Colts leading 41 to 38, with several other teams near midpack. Moonbi has withdrawn. News from Condobolin includes staff moves at local boards and banks, with promotions and transfers to Dubbo and Inverell.
