To WHOM SHALL FARMERS SELL THEIR
WooL Mr.. LowTHER asks would we
realize more from our wool to make an
arrangement to ship it to the manufactur-
err, or to sell tito sub agents, where it must
pass through two or three hands and pay
commission to each .''J For choice lots
of wool in superior condition too good
wool for the market more might some
times be realized by sending it direct to
the manufacturer. But usually a good
share of the itinerant buyers are the
agents Of the manufacturers, and ought
therefore TO pay as good prices as the
latter, minus their own commission and
the expense of transportation. The COM
mission has been generally q cent a
pound, and an agent bailing and trans
porting large lots can do it more cheaply
than the farmer, by at least the sum he
receives as commission. And whether
paid by the pound or percentage for
buying, it is always the interest of the
agent to purchase every lot Of wool which
he can do and act within his instructions.
After many years observation we have
come to the conclusion, that i'm all regions
were competing wool buyers penetrate,
10 is better as a general rule for every
farmer to sell his wool at home, and to
agree upon the price before it is sold 1t
makes no difference TO him whether it is
bought by o manufacturer or specula-
tors agent, providing the latter will give
as much as the former. The competition
between them is an advantage to him. 1t
raises prices, and renders combinations
