mulated censid srable wealth, which is
mostly in sheep, horses and cattle. Their
greatest revenue is derived from the
wool crop, which is immense, and most
Of which finds its way to the IN mirkets
Of the East. The manufacture OF blank
cts has grown to be large industry,
and blankets of all textures are made,
from the very fnest--such as tho one
now on exhibition hereto the coarse

Of the finer qualities are now made as
the labor entailed in their manufac-
