WOol-Kts supply and Demand.
The N~ewAHampshire Journal of Agriculture
states that about 60 10000 pounds of wool are
raised annually in this country, and our manu-
facturers consume 80, 900, 600 pounds, thus shows
Ing a deficiency OF about one-third of the supply
the usual demand. From the scarcity of cotton
at present, the demand for wool must increase,
and efforts should he made to meet it with Ameri.

South Pacific an Cape Town, in South Africa, &c
700, 600 pounds of merino wool are raised annually
