Wool Report From Pitt, Son and Badgery Limited
The Newcastle appraisement was completed but results are unavailable. Wool receipts in Sydney and Newcastle exceed 1,000,000 bales, about 50,000 ahead of last season. Early summer parcels, crutchings, and lambs wool are arriving as dry weather reduces fly trouble. Shearing accelerates with large clips due, though offerings await clip completion. Realisations exceed 106,000 bales with more to come from April to June.

Streamlining Industry in War Production Review
An official review of the Department of War Organisation of Industry shows major reductions in tool and product varieties as part of wartime reorganization. Hand tools drop from 484 to 210 types, garden tools from 215 to 55, shovels from 46 to 14, batteries from 478 to 71, and horseshoes from 112 to 31, with sweets and biscuits producers cutting varieties by 80 to 90 percent. Before the war 47 cigarette brands in 769 packings fell to 7 brands in 17 packings, freeing 2000 workers for war jobs and boosting efficiency. Tobacco and cigarette manufacturing and distribution now require three workers per 1000 pounds versus four previously.
