From Upper Canada we are gratified to learn that the ma-
nufacture of woollens is going on well. Under date of On-
tario, the 10th July, we are advised thus :
" In order to give our agricultural friends an idea of the
benefits that are likely to flow from the establishment of the
Ontario Mills woollen factory, and to direct attention to the
growth of wool, we may state the following facts :—The
factory is calculated, when in full operation, to work off' 400
to 500 yards of cloth a week, which, at the general average,
will consume as many pounds of wool ; circulating 225/.' a
week, or nearly 40,000/. a year, besides the money put in
circulation as wages and otherwise, and securing to this and
the neighbouring districts the setting afloat the large capi-
tal necessary for such operations. The wool grown in this
district, and disposable, is between 90,000 and 100,0001b5.,
so that the proprietor is confident that he will be
enabled to procure all his supply in this and the district of
Prince Edward; and we have the best assurance that it is
his intention to purchase his whole stock in Canada—of
course conditionally, that the farmers pay proper attention
to the culture and preparation of their fleeces; but to render
this undertaking doubly advantageous, it is necessary that
exertions should be made to improve the growth of wool by
the introduction of finer woolled sheep, particularly of the
Merino breed ; we recommend the farmers to visit the fac-
tory, where they will have an opportunity of comparing and
testing the different kinds, and receive instructions as to the
best methods of washing and cleansing the fleece."
