Excerpt from From Wool to Cloth
Europe gives the largest production in quantity, but it is composed mostly of the medium and lower grades, such as are used in carpets.
The Australian clip is sold almost alto gether through public auctions which are held primarily in the country itself.
The South American wools used by American woolen manufacturers are largely imported direct, although a part of the clip is offered in the London and Liverpool auctions. Several years ago the greater por tion of the South American clip was of fine merino wool, but since the introduction of cold storage on the carrying steamers, the growers have changed their flocks to the mutton producing animal which grows a coarse wool.
