Wool Situation In United States 1939 Outlook
United States wool prices stayed nearly steady in June after modest May gains, with domestic raw wool scarce while imports run ahead of 1938. Mill consumption rose strongly from April to May, and 1939 first five months show consumption up 60 percent year over year though below 1935-37 levels. European activity and Southern Hemisphere sales support stocks, while Australia’s 1939–40 output is seen at about 980 million pounds grease, up 4 percent from 1938-39. Domestic carry-over is small, but mills expect high fall demand and continued brisk orders, with 1939 production not far from last year.
