that the Convention will give to the public
all the information which experience may
have added 10 and all the light science
may have thrown upon the subject, to show
the people lively interest in this matter
IL felt by the commercial world, and to sf.
ford them some valuable suggestions.
We copy the following from the
current circular Of w. p. Converse
& Co., 81 Pine street. New York:
AS the market in Texas for woods
of the new clip is about opening,
we beg to submit the following re.
marks for the suggestion and guild
ance of yourself and friends, and we
trust that the future will witness n
of your patronage and
a largo and satisfactory business be.
tween us. The Texas woods have
become more and moro popular
among our manufacturers lately, as
as they have shown evidence of bet
ter care, and have arrived here in a
better condition than formerly. The
great desire of our manufacturers
is to obtain woods of long and strong
staple, as free from dirt, grease,
prairie grass and burs (particularly
the small burs) as possible. Woods
having the opposite qualities are
less desirable, and can be sold only
at comparatively low figures.
In our circular of 1866 we men,
toned that it was preferable to pack
in bales of 500 to 600 pounds; but
we finds that a majority of the buy
ers of Texas woods in this market
never pay for the bagging, rope, etc
when covered with gunny cloth
hence, we think it would be advis- I
able to pack in ordinary American
burlsps, FIVE and half yards to
each bag. These burlap bags, when
received hero in good order, will I
sell readily at from forty to sixty
cents each, thus increasing by that ,
much the net proceeds. The wool
should be free from dampness when {
bought, or else proper allowance s
should be made in price, us it gen
orally loses its weight, particularly
when shipped here during the warm
season. The fccces should be tied ,
up separately with string, and tag t
ocks or dung balls should not be I
put inside of them.
We beg to say that at tho present I
lime the Texas woods continue to ,
% popular with our manufacturers,
md will no doubt command more
md more attention in the future, .
f the growers give heed to the many !
and instructions in re-
alton to the care of their foocks !
md the pundling and bailing of the ,
iceces.
We are pleased to note that the :
lip of last year has, in many cases, :
cached our market in much i'm !
proved condition over the shipments /;
If the previous years, both as re- :
yards bailing and staple. .
All such lots have met with quick \
'ales at the top market prices, while, :
m the contrary, woods of neglected $
