The Wool Trade i'm washington Co.

The Washington, Pa, Reporter, in answer
to an enquiry Of the Editor OF Bo,Uen's ". A
Farmer respecting the amount of Wool brought
into market annually from Washington county,
says
/" In answer to the inquiry of our co,empo-
rary. we would say, that The amount of wool
annually grown in our county, exceeds one
million pounds. In the year ls47 the clip
averaged about 40 cents per pound, and brought
in,o the pockets Of our farmers about S400 600
During the last year, the average price was
not so great, and perhaps, will not be so grea.
this year The most of our wool is of very
fine quality, and some of 1t, probably, the finest
grown in the United States. Our farmers have
taken grea, pains and spared no expense in
improving their stock The flocks of the Mes.
srs. Reed Ewing, Strain, BrownIee, &c. &C.,
are no, surpassed by any in The country The
average price of our clip this year may go above
80 cents, per pound. But many of our farm
ers who have choice focks are holding on 10
their clips and asking from so 10 GO cts. per 10.
Besides the wool grown by our own farm
ers, our county is the depot for great deal of
the wool grown in the adjoining counties of
our STATE. in Western Virginia and the border
ing counties of Ohio, which is brought here
for sale. One firm in this county, acting as
The agents for an Eastern Manufac turing estab-
lIshmen, in ls47, purchased over 900 900 lbs
OF wool. Other wooI-buyers also purchased
largely the same year.
g IL should be remembered, however, tha,
Washington county is not exclusively wool
growing country. Although we grow more
fine wool than any olher county in the Union,
We. your farmers annually raise large quantities
of wheat, corn, and other kinds of grain. The
valley Of the Monongahela river, and the beaa-
tful rallies of Charters and Peters creeks,
produce as good grain and as fine crops as can
be found any where, and contain number of
large and splendid girls. mills, which annually
put up thousands of barrels of The finest flour
for distant markets"

scented our motives and conduct. We give
