Australian Exports Rise on Improved Prices in Fifty Five
Australian exports for the 1955/56 season are set to jump by about £15 million from 1924/25, with wool contributing £8 million, wheat nearly £25 million, and butter and lambs about £1 million each. A broad price drop elsewhere could curb the total, though fruits may modestly raise the sum. Beef remains uncertain, skins rise, eggs dip by around £200,000. Australian butter exports to Britain will be cut by 500 tons weekly after January 4 due to weaker shipments. Belgian wheat imports amid a shrinking Belgian harvest show near 1,000,000 bushels sold to Belgium, with prospects for more. The potato crop in Ontario prompts higher bread demand from rural areas.
