for 1885. The total amount of wool re-
ceived at New York last year was 104,-
Cos, 3S5 pounds, of which 81, S99.7l0 were

1884 amounted to 81 .557 ,095 pounds; in
1888. 1851, $50, and in 1882, "A, S4S. $50.
The increase is principally from foreign
ports. The report states that growers
have been discouraged by the low price
for fine woods; in the nearer States sheep
have been slaughtered in great numbers,
and the production of the best qualities is
considerably reduced. The severity of
the winter of 1870 caused the death of
nearly 100000 sheep in Texas. The
