Wools into the hands Of the Manufacturer, 4
nos no longer = question. Bat although I
very large number Of wool Growers have avail
ed themselves Of these advantages during the
last four yesrs, yet, surprising a. it may ap-
pear 70 many, our receipts have been larger
from Merchants and WoOl-buyers than from
WOol-gFoWers, and this may be accounted for
mainly from the fact, that, a. a class, Wool
gfoSers have been more easily Influenced and
misled than the former, by fhe statements Of
aieW operators who are wholly opposed 70 all
efforts having for their object the systemati-
zing OF the wool trade, or the enhancement Of
prices to the producer.
The past year, characterized as Il has been
BY the most disastrous financial embarrass-
ments, has been one Of the most unfortunate
Tor negotiating and managing sales Of wool.
and the fact that the enterprise has been re-
markably successful Notwithstanding these die.
advantages, and given almost universal salts

sufficient confidence 70 induce large 0Onsign-
ments from wool growers.
To those who have been prejudiceG BY false
rumors, and who have manifested a want of
confidence We have frequently made advances
equal 70 the price they have been offered for
their wool. Such advances, how ever, should
not be required, as the enterprise was starte d
for their benefit, and this object has been stead.

our efforts. Indeed, wool growers, particular.

can extend to them.
This year must be peculiarly favorable one

that they will avail themselves of
BETTER RICES
than they can obtain by any other method and
and would we trust, become permanent friends
Of the enterprise. At this House, the
Wool as Closely Classifsd!
Into different styles and grades, thus render
ing it more attractive TO the manufacturer, who
frequently does not wish to purchase mixed
lots. Here he can obtain the particular grade
Of wool adapted to the quality Of goods be
manufactures, and thus can afford to
PAY 3 TO s CENTS A POUND MORE
Than under the old system of employing a.
gents and sub-agents to canvass the country
to procure his stock. Here he can find uni
form grades, which are 80 well known TO Eas
tern Manufacturers, that the only expense at.
tending their buying is letter or telegraph
dispatch, ordering any particular grade and
quantity.
To those who wish to consign Wool to us,
we will forward sacks, by express or other
wise, numbered and marked 20 that no other
direction would be required to have the Wool
