WOOLBS MANUFACTURERS.

| special international exhibitions OF dinereht
classes of manufactures, and in 1881 will
commence "with an international exhibition
wool and it's varied applications and man
ufsctures wit those of few allied products,
and of the machinery and implements rclat-
ing thereto" OF late years tho demand for
wool has increased with such marvellous
rapidity that tho raw material is produced
more or less in all countries. Great Britain
has given special attention to wooden manu-
factories and tho production of wooden
fabrics, and to this end imports vast doal of
tho raw material every year. From its Aus
tralisn and African colonies the greatest cup
ply is drawn, of superior Merino wool In
1879 that country imported 41lOOO,OOO
pounds, of which 355,0O0,000 pounds came
from its foreign possessions, and wooden man
ufacture now ranks second in Importance OF
British text 10 industries. When We contom-
plate the extont to which wool enters into
the clothing fabrics of the world, aud the
multiplied million Of people who are yearly
to be clad, we can certainly, at least, have "A
feeble conception Of the importance to this
cpuatry of wooden manutactope5. The OH
cjal port ortha tenth census not having yet
been promulgated, we are uns-
bic to give exact figures rs to
the number of sheep iii the
United States, but according to the report of
1870 there were then, in this country, 3d.
Az 06l sheep, of which Texas had 7ll,35l.
1t is reasonable TO assume that in the ten
wears past the number has doubled, which
would give to Texas now l,l2o,7O2. During
these past ten years tho quality of sheep
in this state has been considerably improved,
until at this time Texas wool grades nearly
up to the best produced in the country. EsIl-
mating the yield at an average of six pounds
per head, We will have the wool crop
of this state, this year in round figures,
S,572,2i2 pounds, and calculating the price
at % cents per pound, and we SOC thN
our wool interest is worth to us
ST. 1885,, 1856 Ga While we can only
approximate, or more properly speak
ing guess the amount of wool that
Texas has shipped from her limits since the
war ended in 1865, we think it not extraVa-
giant to say that the number OF pounds IN
these fifteen years will not fall short of Co.
100000, worth to Texss at least Sl2 OOO,VOo'
If this 90 100000 pounds Of wool had been
manufactured here, would it not have been
worth to the state three times as much money
as it brought? With the proper machinery

have enumerated these various items
of .woolen manufactures, Al the risk Of be.
ing somewhat tedious to give n better idea of
what Texas is capable with her immense
yearly wool crop, that is constantly increas-
ing. Not only would the manufacture, here
in our midst of these articles bring increased
wealth to Texas but it would bring moro
people to the state and, give employment
TO hundr DIS and hundreds of persons. AT
New Braunfels, in Comal county, there is a
small wooden mill, tho goods from which
meet with ready sale at most remunerative
prices. In fact the demand for them
is so great that 1t cannot
be supplied. When Governor
