The Wool Trade.

A circular has been issued by Mr..
James Lynch containing many valuable
facts in connection with the wool
trade, which tend to show that that
important branch of commerce and
manufacture is on the decline The
opening of the past year found the
wool trade very dull SO much so that
manufacturers resolved to lessen their
productions, and stock was offered at
low figure. The trade was unsettled
and fuctuated until the panic of last
September totally demoralized the
business, and sales were forced at
prices fifteen to twenty per cent. less
than before the panic. AS conse-
quence many old firms were compelled
to suspend payment, and compromised
with their creditors. This depression
in the wool trade was solely confined
to this country. In Europe it was
buoyant and successful, mainly
owing to the fact that the European
manufacturers, especially the Eng
lish, get the choicest wool grown
in the world, free of duty, and are thus
! enabled to make their fabrics so good
and cheap, and in such great variety
DIS W COuULOl tuC hntllCdu ldTkG6.
American manufacturers are therefore
placed at great disadvantage in not
being able to procure the finest wool
I from Australia, New Zealand, the
Cape, and South America, except on
paying enormous duties, and are thus
prohibited from making the best
goods. AS result, the imports OF
WOODEN goods in this port for 1873 we're
of the value, gold in bond, $38, 600, 900,
while the imports Of the raw material
for the same year reached only S., 225,-
900. Notwithstanding that our manu-
facturers have most skilIful operatives.
the best machinery, and other unsur-
passed advantages, they are still una
BILE to cope with Europeans, owing to
the existing tariff law, SO adverse to
the interestst of American manufacture
ers. The total amount of the foreign
importation of wool for 1873 was TO-
1853, 807 pounds, of which the greater
quantity was from England and Rus
STA coastw1se arrivals, 92,718 bales.
The estimated stock at present in New
York is: Domestic, 4, 459, 900 pounds;
foreign, IA, 800 bales representing a.
total of II, 500, 900 pounds.

How Engraving was Invented,

It is interesting to know by what
process the invention was suggested.
Like all the jewelers. of his time, Fini-
guerra ornamented his works-sword
hits, caskets, patens, cups, chalices-
with patterns engraved intaglio. When
the artist has finished his work, he.
spread over the engraving black en-
amel niello, whose composition is care
fully inscribed by Benevento Celini in
his treatise on jewelry. This enamel,
filling the cuttings Of the engraving.
made the design visible in black upon
the clear tone of the metal. But as any
re-touching was impossible after the.
melted niello had been run into the,
mould, the jeweler, before proceeding
to the last operation, took one of the
several impressions with clay to be
able to inspect his work, and, if need
be, to correct it. Upon the clay
the engraving presented itself In
relief, and reversed it; if, for instance,
an inscription were traced in the orig
inal from right to left, it would, IN the
impression run from left to right.
Now, to see his work as he would
have seen it upon the niello-covered
plate, the jeweler poured sulphur over
the clay, and, after having colored
with lamp-black the burrows in the
sulphur, he printed counter proof
that replaced the engraving in it's prop
er position before his eyes. This meth
cd F1niguerra had employed wher he
engraved for the church of the Baptists
at Florence one of those patens to
which the name paix was given, because,
they received the kiss of peace in re-
lgious ceremonies. After having ia
ken with sulphur two Impressions,
Finiguerra conceived the idea of print
ing one upon the silver plate with pa
per that he pressed with a roller and
the proof thus obtained was the first
print from an intaglio. This inestim-
able relic is preserved at Paris in the
cabinet of prints.

Progress of San Francisco.

The San Francisco Chronicle, in very
brief space, tells an interesting story OF
the progress of that city during the
year which has just closed. The pop
ulation has advanced from $50, 900 to
200, 900. To accommodate this increase
1000 new houses have been built,
which have cost upward of SIS, 600, 900,
while for the coming year, buildings
have been already projected which will
cost $1,000, 900. The population of the
state has increased in the same time
not less than 40, 1000. The exports from
San Francisco, seward, exclusive of
specie, have increased $1,000, 900 over
those Of 1872. now aggregating about
$3O,0O0,000 Exports by rail for the
first eleven months of the year aggre-
gate 80, SIS, O37 pounds of merchandise,
as against 65, 284, 601 pounds last year,
their value being estimated at $25, 00O,-
900. During 1873 San Francisco has
doubled her trade with Great Britain.
the exports there aggregating about
500, 600, 000ln value, as against $40, 0O0,-
900 last year. While wheat shipments to
Europe have fallen off, large direct
trade in case goods, salmon, -four, and
wines have been established.
