Preparing Wool for Market.

From recent circular of Mcssrs.
Reynolds, Reed Il Co, Of Chicago, we
clip the following well-timed remarks
on the subject OF preparing woods for
market:
In an active market, with money
easy and prices advancing, it makes
no sort Of difference about the condi-
ton rs TO the ease with which il can
be sold on its merits When wool
brough, a dollar per pound, plenty Of
tleeces which had not felt water, ex-
cept as it fell from the clouds, were
taken for washed at that figure. On
the other hand, in dull market, low
prices, with mills embarrassed, money
tight and the future not promising,
a. was the case through most Of the
past season, apeculators, who know
nothing about wool, stay out Of the
market only those who are posted,
or absolutely require it for manufac-
turing, touch it at all-hence every
circumstance is taken advantage OF
TO depreciate its value. AS Of old,
sit is naught, it is naught," saith the
buyer defects are magnifed tenfold,
and it becomes difficult, sometimes
impossible, to sell partially washed
or dingy, weak fiber, or bury OIL
very heavy fine unwashed, at full
rates on their merits. In all grades
the better the condition, the quicker
the sale, at fair market value.

Hot Summers.

From the records kept at Nure M
burg, in Bavaria, we get the follow
ing interesting facts:
In 1872 the earth cracked by rea-
son of the heat, the wells and streams
in Alsace all dried up, and the bed OF
the river Rhine was dry. In 1852
the heat was SO great that the sand
| exposed to the suns rays was hot
enough to cook eggs. In | 100 great
numbers OF soldiers in the campaign
against Bella died from the heat. In
1876 and 1877 crops of hay and oats
failed completely. In 1903 and 1904
man could have crossed, dry shod,
over the rivers Seine, Loir, Rhine
and Danube. In 1893 and 1894 a
number Of animals persisted by the
heat, which was so great that the
harvest dried up. In 144O the heat
1910 and 1911 all the rivers were
nearly dried up. In 1856 there was
great droath which extended over
nearly the whole of Europe. In 1916
and i6l6 there was, in Italy, France
and the Netherlands an overpower-
ing heat. In 1913 there were IS
consecutive days OF extreme heat.
1873 was very hot and so were the
first three Years of the 18th century.
In IT'S it did not rain single time
from April until October The grow
ing gram was burnt, the rivers dried
up, the theatres (but wherefore is not
stately were closed by command OF
the police. The thermometer showed
30 degrees Reaumer, equivalent to
1l3 degrees Fahrenheit. In irrigated
gardens the fruit trees bloomed twice.
In 1928 and 1924 there was great
heat. The summer of 1746 was hot
and dry, the growing grain being
calcined 1t did not rain for months.
l748, 1854, 1860, 1867, 1873 and 1888
were years in which the summers
were extremely hot. In the famous
comet year--1811-the season was
warm, and the wine produced that
season was very precious. In 1918
the theatres had to be closed on ac-
count OF the heat, the highest temper
aturo being 80 Reaumer, or 112 Fab
renhoit. During the three years OF
the revolution OF July, in 1880, the
thermometer stood ut SO degrees CEN
tigrade, about ~ Fahrenheit. In
1882, during tho uprising of the 9th
and 9Th of July, the temperature was
| about the same.
