The Dewsbury trade IS somewhat i1etua'ing, being
affected very much by the state ofNthe wool market

England in consequence 81 the report that the SAep-

the newshury trade so great is the competition in
the English markets that as soon rise tskes place
in the price Of new wool the small manufacturers, in
toad Of raising their prices, commonly regulate their
expenditure BY using larger proportion Of the old ma
ieal ard they thus enabled 70 compete in prices
~ least with the larger manufacturers who cen ay In
a large stock of new wool when the prices are low
sixty wears ago the imports of wool into Great Brit
ain scarcely exceeded 20000 bales year Spain was
then the best producer for the English market Az the
coumencCmtnt Of the present century, the total annual
iurorts amounted TO about $4,000 bales As Britain
has Gene on Increasing her population, and sending
out tmcrants to people her Colonies, she has proper
ticna6y increased her importatons Of wool until In
1852 we mud that no less than 525695 bales OF wooi
were imported.
German wool has for some time been popular in Eng

moderately cold climate is best adapted for sheep.
Mountainous districts aording all the variety OF tenn
perature from extreme heat TO extreme cold, IN
their intermediate localities ON the sides OF YER
dant hills, are the most suitable for sheep walks,
In such districts the shepherd suit his flock accord
ing to the season, the weather and their power OF en-
dursnce In the cold of winter tho shelter from tho
strong blast in the valleys, and rs the warm weather
approaches he guide his gentle charge to more eie
waited plains reaching near the submits as the hot
weather approaches, there to enjoy the cool bracng
mountain air.
The New England States are the best adapted for
sleep pastursge although there Is great deal grown
in Illinois Ohio and some other Western States we
have SEEN however good wool said TO have been grown
as far south AS Virginia but this doubtless ia the
mountainous districts where cool pasturage can be Sc
lected Wool growing in America is an important
branch Of agriculture The scope Tor ITS snccessini
operation is immense and the choice OF locality affords
excellent opportunities for useful experiments with the
different breeds OF sheep
The demand for wool in England is generally greater
than the supply and il is this circumstance, combined
with the profitable nature OF the business which mas
Given rige TO the Dewsbury trade. While We nave en-
deayored TO describe this trade for the benefit OF our
home manufacturers who may have had no opportunity
Of seeing the Yorkshire processes, we should muen
rather recommend the more extensive growth OIL new
wool aud attention 10 its Improvement win all US
lealthfn rural pursuits, than the extensive intro
/ ducton OF the Dewsbury trade in this country
The Fannels and Blankets Of the American Depart
ment of the Crystal Palace deserve especial notice
There is case exhibiting three grades Of quality In
Blankets manufactured al the Rochdale Mills, Roches
ter. n " by the Norway Plains Company, and placed
in the Exhibition by Nesmith 81 Co. The wool OF these
Blankets Is evidently well selected and ceansed Tho
coorng at the ends yaregated and the Blankets arc
silk bound We saw nothing in the English Depart
uept even which equals these excellent articles eth
or for Wilderness or soitness and although there Is
pair of Whitney Blankets. which are said TO 90 lke
hose presented to the Queen and frince Albert ~
April 1851 and manufactured by MIR. u. Early, ci
whitney which are probably the best that can be made
in England being selected from variety OF heecss,
we must say they do not up to these Rochester
Blankets either IN wilderness finish, whatever may
be said of their strength and durability
For beauty and exquisite finish, however we must
mention case of embroidered blankets, exhibited ny
Messrs Smelling, Parker Wilder q Co, oil boston
The ends of the blankets which appear to be tho ska
for cIildrens couches are embroidered with bold
pattern of vine ard flowers one In scarlet ana tns
sthcrs in crimson green blue and orange coors Tho
case being locked and persOn 70 exhibit the Boods
we were unable to feel the quality of the wool but
Judging from the appearance, we should say 10 the
hest that could be selected The surface Is more close
" SHARED than that Of ordinary blankets, proDapy
in order 10 show the embroidery to greater perlectOn
We have never seen better taste displayed IN this de-
uarment Of manufacture il being unusual to ornament
Blankets 20 artstically.
The Canadian department contains some prize blaii-
kets said TO have taken the prize at the Cps,
t,l Palace in London, in comparison with fhe holh

qualities Of strength ard durability preennent de-
greeaualities TO which our home manufacturers would

assortment Of home made fabrics gray woolens knitted
