Kitching Brothers. Monthly Wool
Circular.


Our last report was dated July Cd.
During the first part of the month there
was but little inquiry for wool we have,
however, to note an improved demand
within the past ten days with more bust
ness doing.
The reduction of ten per cent. on the
duty on wool takes effect on the 1st of
August Although the abatement in the
duty has in most instances entered into
the terms of late transactions, there are
some importers who have declined offer
ing their wool until it could be passed
under the lower rates. The indications
now are that we shall see better bust
ness for the coming month than we have
had for some time past.
Domestic Clip.-Growers have been
obliged toyield in their pretensions, and
are now disposed to meet the views OF
buyers. The clip has commenced to
move but the receipts are still light, and
its market value can hardly be said to
he fully established. Our quotations
for some qualities are yet nominal.
Spring California has been arriving
freely, but few transactions have as yet
tlken place. The fall crop has been in
moderate request at the present low
rates. In Texas woods we note sales OF
from 600 to 800 bales within our quo
tatons There is large stock of these
woods on the market. Washed fleece is
99@73c Combing, 65@76c.
Combing Notes.-The market being
bare of stock, we omit quotations. The
new clip Of best hogs fleece has been
selling in England at a price equal to
about soc currency per pound, landed
here.
Foreign Clothing Wools-During the
first part of the month but little atten-
ton was paid to these woods. The firm
er tone of the English markets and
the approaching reduction of duty had
the effect to stimulate manufacturers to
make offers, and for the last fortnight
quite an active business has resulted.
We estimate the sales here and in Boston
to be 1900 bales of MistizO, $500 bales
of Cape, and 1000 bales of Australian
reducing the stock to 27,S00 bales.
At last advices the London auction
sales were progressing with spirit, and
tending to still further advance in
prices. AccOrdingt to the announcement
the sales will close tomorrow, July
31st.
Foreign Carpet Wools.-There has
been an improved demand during the
month, and sales have been made of
about 300 bales of Mexican Noils, etc
all within our quotation. We estimate
the stock here and in Boston to be
$500 bales.
At the Liverpool sales of East India,
which opened July %, better prices
were being obtained.
Nni1S an1 TIoir OD1yr a y1p1nrot0
business doing.
Sheepskins. - The demand has been
fair and sales of 600 bales have been
made during the month. We estimate
the stock here and in Boston at $500
bales, and as no important supplies can
come forward for some months, holders
are more firm in their views.

Estimate the weight of Live Cattle.

First, see that the animal stands
square then, with a string, take his
circumference just behind the shoulder
blade. and measure the feet and inches
this is the gjy'th. Then measure from
the bone of the tail which plumbs the
line with the hinder part of the bullock,
and direct the string along the back to
the fore part of the shoulder blade, and
this will be the length. Then work the
figures thus: Suppose girth of bullock
6 feet inches, length feet 3 inches,
whchmultiplied together make SO square
superficial feet, and these multiplied by
23-the number of pounds allowed for
each superficial foot of cattle measur-
ing less than seven and more than five
feet in girth-make 759 pounds. When
the animal measures less than nine and
more than seven feet in girth 81 is the
number of pounds to be estimated as
the weight Of each superficial foot. And
suppose a small animal to measure 2 feet
in girth and feet in length, these null
tiplicd together make feet, which null
tiplied by eleven, henumber of pounds
allowed for each square foot when the
cattle measure less than three feet in
girth. make A pounds. Again, calf
or sheep, to measure 4 feet inches in
girth, and 3 feet 8 inches in length; that
multiplied together, makes IS square
feet, and these multiplied by 16, the
humber of pounds allowed for cattle
measuring less than and more than
feet in girth, make 25G pounds The di-
mansions in girth and the length of the
back of the cattle, sheep, calves and
hogs, taken this way are as exact as Is
ut unnecessary for common computation
or valuation of stock, and will answer
to the four quarters of the animal,
shrinking the offal. A deduction must
be made for the animals half fat, and
for a COW that has had calves, one pound
must be allowed in addition to the one

How EASILY BUTTER Is SPOILED
A farmers wife writes to an exchange:
OF all the products of the farm, butter
is most liable to be tainted by noXious
odors floating in the atmosphere. Our
people laid some veal in the cellar, from
which a little blood flowed out and was
neglected until it commenced to smell.
The result was that jar of butter that
was then packing smelled and tasted
like spoiled beer. Another lady reader
observes that there was pond of filthy,
stagnant water a few hundred feet
from the house, from which, when the
wind was in certain direction an often
sive eflluvium would be borne on the
breeze directly to the milk room, the re-
suit of which was that the cream and
butter would taste like the disagreeable
odor coming from the pond. As soon
as the pond was drained there was no
more damaged butter.
