Astonishing Decrease in Australian Wool Output in 1895
Daniel W. Maratta, United States consul general at Melbourne, reports an unprecedented fall in the Australian wool clip for 1895. NSW sheep numbers dropped from 61,416, in 1891 to 47,433,332 last year, with a 9.5 million drop between 1894 and 1895 due to drought and a prior shearing strike that inflated 1894. Maratta notes heavy losses point to potential further declines in 1896.
