Without undertaking TO settle this ques.

words quite as easily uttered, would have

The Wool Trade,

We know (says the Ohio Cultivator, J
the writer of the following to be a gentle
man of principle and Judgment. We wish
all dealers were as candid. The article
was written for the Homestead Journal, al
Salem, Columbiana county:
"Considerable excitement prevails, and
many are contracting their wool, which
they would not do after the sober second
thought In the first place, it must be all
unsatisfactory mode of doing business, to
contract for wool on the sleeps back, be-
cause the market is not established, and
the most shrewd and sagacious spectators
know comparatively little about the future
But then, the growers may rest satisfied,
that these eastern buyers, who appoin,
agents at every cross-r roads, won't buy the
wool unless they think there is specula-
ton in it. Many farmers have contracted
their wool several cents below what will
probably be the ruling market price; then
in lew instances too much may have been
paid. In these latter cases, when the WOO
is delivered, the purchaser will see it bad
ty handled. poorly mashed, and meanly
done up. While those who have received
less than the fair market value, will feel no
motive to do either justice TO themselves or
their wool. Instead of being well-washed
tagged and neatly done up with twine, the
sheep will be merely drawn through the
creek, and every kind of waste wool, tied
up with the heece-all the time feeling
that it is good enough for such land.

opening wide the door of dissatisfaction.
Therefore would advise all wool grow.
ers in this vicinity, to refuse to CONTRACT

dy for market. Let il be well washed and
tagged. Let each one try 10 excel in put
ting his wool in the best order. Let the
contract be fair consideration for fail

ton.
''ln the meantime, let me say, that from
all the indications drawn from statistics
the farmer may rely with perfect safety
that he will get all his wool will be worth
and probably little more; it having been
ascertained from the most reliable data
that the supply of wool is not equal to tn.

there will be large deficiency, in the clil
