DOW no longer a question. But although
yefy large number Of wool Growers have avail.
ed themselves Of these advantages during he
last four years, yet. surprising as it may ap-
pear 10 many, our receipts have been larger
from Merchants and Wool-buyers than from
WOOl-gOwers, and this may be accounted for
mainly from the fact, that, As q class, Wool
growers have been more easily Influenced and
misled than the former, BY the statements Of
a few operators who are wholly opposed 10 all
efforts having for their object the sysiemati-
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
for negotiating and managing sales Of wool,
and the fact that the enterprise has been re-
markably successful notwithstanding these dis.
advantages, and given almost universal salts

sufficient confidence 10 induce large eOnsign-
ments from wool growers.
To those who have been prejudieed by false
rumors, and who have manifested a-Want Of
confidence we have frequently made advances.

our efforts. Indeed, wool growers, particular.

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

than they can obtain by any other method, and
and would we trust, become permanent friends
Of the enterprise. At this House, the
Wool is Closely classified!
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 he
manufactures, and thus can afford to
PAY 3 TO CENTS POUND MORE
Than under the old system Of employing a.
gents and sub-agents to canvass the country
to procure his stock. Here be can find uni
form grades, which are so 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 eonsign Wool to us,
we will forward sacks, by express or other
wise, numbered aud marked so that no other
direction would be required to have the Wool
