A car load Of prairio hay wns sold in this city
d fow days ago to 10 shipped to Liverpool via
ph;1adolphia and tho Anchor Limo. The ordor
called for coarse slough hay, from which it ID
thought very good paper can bo made. A kind
OF grass has heretofore boen obtained for tue
purpose in Spain, but Binco tho civil war In that
couutry tho difficulty Of getting adequate sup-
rliea to England haa greatly ineresaed, hanee
il beloved that ono has been found in our
conrse, prairie hay. Should tho experiment Of
making paper from 1t prove successful, it is
thought probable that good export trade will
result.
