The Brooke County Wool Market.
From the Wellsburg Hcrald.


Large quantities of wool came into town
during the week, great portion of 1t
from Washington county, though many
OF the largest Brooke county growers
have sold, About fifty cents per pound
may be said to be the average price real
lied, though prices actually paid some
times considerably exceeded that figure.
This is an advance OF not far from ten per
cent. on last years prices, on the same
clips of wool, and Us the weight per fleece
has annually been increasing, il Is prActi.
cally more than that, The wool produc-
ton of this region has greatly changed
during the Inst ten years The product
has greatly increased in weight Of fleece,
at the expense of tineness, and at the
same time the size of tlocks or number
of sheep kept, has decreased in probably
about the same proportion. This gives
an aggregate production in pounds not
very much different from then, but at u
lower price and Of m inferior grade, and
at the same time Of cheaper production.
The net profit on wool growing thus re-
mains about the same, with the advantage
of considerably larger scope Of land
left available for grain growing, and con
sequently a larger production Of grain.
The land released from sheep pasturage
in this way. is in the highest state of fer
tility, making grain growing the most
profitable; and Il is hardly probable that
sheep growing will attain It's former
prominence for some years to come, or
until the land begins 10 show evident
signs Of impoverishmenL. The expert
ence of the last ten years has also pretty.
satisfactorily settled the point that wool
cannot be prOtitably raised In the prairie
States or where fiat lands much abound,
and that It can be prohtably raised In
countries only OF topography, soil and
climate like tic upper Ohio valley.
From tho Wollaburg News. .
During the past week, the wool market
IN Brooke county, has been quite stirring.
Last Saturday was lively day In Wells
burg. From early morn, until evening,
our streets presented m animated ap-
pearance, e,-they being crowded by wagons
loaded with wool Over one hundred
thousand pounds were brought 10 town
during The past week; some from Wash
ingtOn county, Pa, Hancock county, but
principally from Brooke. Prices being
considered good, farmers took advantage,
and sold, rather than hold on in expecta-
tion of getting more This, we consider
wise; wool, no doubt, has reached its
highest figures. There cannot be much
LEFT unsOld In Brooke county. Prices rang
ed from tiRy to iIty.six. Indeed, we
heard Of some extra clips having brought
sixty cents, which Is n high figure for this
market. Farmers, In this region, have
done remarkably well this season with
their wool, having realized good price.
Money should be more plentiful, and we
hope the farmers will scatter II In place of
boarding. There could have not been
less than fifty thousand dollars paid out
in this county for wool during the past
week.
