The Ohio Wool Buyers and Dealers
Association held Convention In
Cleveland on the 18th inst. at which
all the prominent growers throughout
the State we're invited to be present.
A committee on resolutions was ap-
pointed in which Delaware was rep
resented by Mr.. J. Hyatt. The reso- /
lutions reported and unanimously
adopted state that notwithstanding
there was an apparent improvement
in the wool of this State last year,
and ''on the part of many of our prom
inent wool-grOwers, hearty disp0sl-
ton to, cooperate with this Association
in its efforts to remedy the evils ex-
istiug in the wool trade of this State
and a commendable and responsive
action in the preparation Of their
wool for market, yet 1T is also a de-
plorable fact that large per eentage
of the clips Of this State exhibited no
Improvement over former years, many
of our wOOl-growers having been
guilty of gross carelessness and IN
many cases glaring frauds IN putting
up their wool, aud many Of the local
buyers Of the State not only disgraeed
themselves, but did great violence to
the general reputation Of wool com
mission men of this State, by an in
excusable and criminal recklessness
in buying, thereby virtually offering a
premium to the dishonest. grower and
| doing a great injustice to those who
| put up their wool fairly and honestly,
| The Association therefore resolved
| that in view Of 5hc salstarV- influence
! exerted by this organ ization during
| the last year. and in view of what yet
| -, -,
| improvement Of the character and con-
dition of Ohio wool, and in reference
/ to the correction of the existing evils
of the trade, we are determined to
! perseVere in our efforts and continue
the agitation Of the question, until
| proper and Just Determinations and
! deductions are made in buying, and
until the wool of the State Is restored
/ to its former enviable reputation. Also
that the rules and regulations of the

and shall receive our patronage and
support, that we will, whenever prac-
| tica BILE employ them to buy the wool Of
their respective localities and recon-

honest and honorable wOol-groWers of
this State (and we take pride in saying
that the number is not smalD fully
