Great Sale of Wool.
BosroN, Feb. "a.


The great sale of wool by auction came
of to-day. Prices were good and sale:
brisk including three hundred thousand
medium and one hundred thousand fine
quality. Twenty-Five thousand pound:
were sold at ls4@le8c; fleece at 274@
354c: twenty-seven thousand pounds black
tub was held at 2s9@S4ac; sixty-fve
thousand pounds Maine at 4l@53.
A lot Of Vermont double extra at SIG
519c; New York pulled at 464@553;-
Western and Ohio pulled at ls@4ttc;
5000 lbs. fine Vermont at 4s3c; S0,Ooo
Tbs. New York and New Hampshire select
ed fleece at 554@57; $4,000 TBS. ohio
and Pennsylyania fancy at 57@643c; 9TH
er smaller lots were also sold. The aggre-
gate sales amounting TO 100000. ~
The above sale of Wool in Boston has
beeu heralded over the Telegraph wires
frome one end of our land to the other
We think it may be safely set down as a
forerunner to lower prices. Where are the
high prices which eastern papers and re-
porters have talked and quoted for two
months! Still we do not know but it
was bona .fde sale, got up in the legiti-
mate course of trade, but on examining pri-
ces and contrasting them with prices at
which wool has been selling, it furnishes
a suspicion TO our mind as to what the
real object of that sale may have been
The first twenty-five thousand pounds may
have been dear at ls1 cents, as it does not
state the kind of Wool. The next is fleece
at 253 cents. This is a tremendous tum-
bic down from any previous prices which
have been quoted in the East for the last
8 months. 1t will require great stretch
of the imagination to swallow "the sale"
1t locks as though the sale was smelling
after the clip now on the carcass. Itwould
be very difficult to get up an auction sale
of Wool in the present active demand, with
out its becoming a true test of the market,
excepting by previous agreement, and if
this is a true test of the Market where are
the 20 and so cent Wool, which the Inde-
pendent and the Tribune have been talk
ing about. Is wool on the deelme?-
What xt?- Cleveland Wool Grower.

Medal and Diploma. at the great National

The following are some of its point:
of excellence as a Mower.
LIST. 1t has not one pound of side draft.

Ist 1t has not one pound of side draft.
I'd. 1t has no more weight on the tongue, OIL
horses neck, than a wagon
| Sd, Its draft is only 2I5 pounds-so reported
by the Committee at the Ohio State Trial, 1857.
4th. Itruns on two wheels which serve as
drivers.
5th. 1t has an adjustable cutter bar and &C.
commodities itself to an uneven surface of the
ground.
9Th. The cutter bar is iu the front of the driv-
| ing wheels, and the seat In the rear. Thus ena-
bling the driver to see the operation of the cut
tiers without interfring with his driving. Also,
avoiding all danger of falling into the knives.
7tb. The driving wheels have no cogs on them
but drive the gearing by means of pals and
raichets.
Sth By means of these pals and ratchets.
the knives cease to vibrate in backing the ma
chine.
9th. TIE driver, while in his seat, ean see ev-
cry bolt, box, and all the gearing while the ma
chine is in motion.
10th. The gearing is all permanently arrang-
ed in the centre of the frame. distant from the
driving wheels, thus avoiding all tendency of
Its being clogged up with mud or dirt thrown
up by the drivers.
llih. The cutter bar being attached TO the
machine by means of hinges, can be folded up
ing rod, knife or track cleaner.
10Th. The pals on the driving wheels can
be readily thrown out of gear, and by folding
the cutter bar as above stated, renders the ma
chine as portable as a common cart.
18th. There is wheel ON the shoe next the
gearing in trout of the cutter bar. thus avoiding
clogging at the near shoe in passing over cut
grass.
I4.h. The off shoe is only 211s inches wide,
and the last knife cuts no morekthan any other,
therefore leaving no ridge or high stubble at
the end of each swath.
18th. The cutter bar can be raised or lowered
by means ofan adjustable steel spring shoe at
off end. and slot in the near shoe where the
wheel is attached.
10Th. There are no nuts or screws at the con-
Meeting rod, which are always liable to cause
more or less trouble by jerking loose, but use q
glib with spring pail and a ratchet key, there
by avoiding all possible chance of shaking
loose.
