PRICE OF WOOL.

( The lIhica On. W Chronicles states that
Messrs. l.. A. a. II. IL. Monell. who have a
flock of 1000 Savonv Sheep. have sold the
whole clip 10 a Boston manufacturing estab
llshne nt for fifty cents per pound. The h-eces
averaging 2 10 lbs. Last year they obaned
AZ cents. These prizes a:e much higher
Than iha quotations IN eastern prices current,
aud we can only account for The high price by
surprising the wool 10 have been remarkably
clean and well packed.

fishes letter from samuel Lawrence Of Low.

average of Squirr's lot was "A cents per ID.
The following is "a extract Of Mr.. Is. letter.
(" You will perceive tia, deduction is
made on Sqnler's wool in consequence Of It's
being heavy from gum. The blood of his
sheep is excellent.
Your own clip is among the mos, beauii-
tul We have ever rereived. and wish II could
be shown 10 the wool growers Of this country
breeding OF sheep. as well AS for the condition
and putting up of The wool"
From The above western iaru era may learn
The advantages Of thoroughly cleansing their
wool and packing il neatly for market. They
Will thereby Save the expense of transporting
filth. and Ill In addition receive premium
from The manufactured Tor its cleanliness. Any
one who has the least thought upon the sub
jecI must know. that those who are cons Iantly
dealing in vol cannot be cheated into paving
for dirt and gum; aud tina, besides dednc'ing
enough FRI the price 10 make good The weigh,
in clean wool. they also reckon the trouble
and expense of cleaning.
We have seen great many lots Of wool
the pas, season. and none Of them IN decent
order for market except Ihee-ihe Messrs.
REYNOLDS of Sugar Grove. Socrates Ranj's
of Cook Co., aud Isaac Hardy's of La Sale.
These remarks are out Of season. we know;
but some farmers may be wandering why
they could gel so little for their wooi when
they expected more. and when they heard Of
sales so much higher than their own. In the
above statements they may learn the reason.
