lst. That Spain, which SO many years was the
greatest exporter of WOOL has, since the last twenty
years, little more than Is required for her
sumption.
I'd. The export of Germany to England, which
in the years 1914 amounted to only 1896, l46
pounds, exported the greatest quantity of wool,
q, 100000, in lsaS-since then the export has
greatly diminished and the chief reason is that
Germany now requires the most of her wool for her
own manufacturers
Sd. Russla's export of wool to England, since
the last ten years, has remained stationary, which
is caused by the increase of her own manufacto-
ries, and the great difficulty to produce the finer
qualities of wool
4th. Australia began it's exports of wool in the
year 1906, with 245 pounds; in 1924, continued
with 2d0,Sl7 lbs; 1884, with 1888. 1913, and has
since progressed so astonlshingy, that 1898, Ill
were exported in 1913, and Australia Is now the
chief exporter OF wool.
9Th. More wonderful than even Australia are the
exports of wool from South America, which only
commenced about ten years since, say Peru, Chill,
and La Plata, who exported in 1893 only 223 St,2
lbs. 10 England; in 1884 nearly 100000 lbs;
10000 600 IN 1885. Since then they have only ex.
ported annually about tour and half millions of
pounds, but this, no doubt, is owing to their con-
tinued disorder and revolutions. The great de-
mand in Europe for Alpaca wool, (white, black,
and brown,) Of which they shipped in 1913 about
H. 900 bales, will henceforth greatly increase the
exports from those countries.
9th. The East Indies, which IN 1881 only sent
25,S40 TO England eight years afterwards exported
four and half millions of pounds. and the expor-
tatlon from the Cape of Good Hope increased
nearly as rapidly, WIS 62G,2l4 in 1889, and IL
millions IN 1913.

The production of the fine wool is known to be
most expensive and difficult. Germany is now the
chlefcxporer of those kinds; but Hungary Rus
STA and Poland are greatly improving their focks,
and viii soon be great rivals in ELECTORAL Regrei,
and other fine breeds of Mernoes OF these sheep
III Germany, II to q lbs is the usual crop OF the
ewes, and the rams give II to lbs. at each shear
ing, whilst the common sheep only produce IA to
lbs Great exertons have been made in Ger
many to manufacture Cashmere shaws. The
wool required is produced by particular kind of
goat, which are imported from the highlands Of
LaGhak and Lassa but the climate in the Zol-
verein appears too Geld for them In Vienna they
import the wool, but cannot rival Paris IN the uni
tatiOn OF real Cashmere, or Lyons and Mines in
the less expensive Hindoo Cashmere shawls.
There is an idea in Germany that the total pro-
ductlon OF wool in the world is not equal to the
consumption caused by the increase in populaton
and that if the United States and other growing
countries do not henceforh supply their own wants
for wool, the posterity of such Europeans and
others who live in cold countries, will, in less than
n century, be without warm paletots, and have
very cool time: AsERIoUs.
