SHEEP AND WOOL.
Official Figures on Numbers and
Amount of Gin.

BosToN, Mass. Feb. 27.-The Boston
Commercial Bulletin of Saturday will
give official figures showing the number
of sheep in the country, by which the
clip of 1892 can be forecast
with some exactneSS. The official
figures show that the total increase in
sheep is 1,519.22S an increase which is
very generally distributed and in some
surprising places. The decline is
mostly in the Southern states, though
the heaviest shortage is in Colorado,
where 1877 sheep have disappeared,
and in New Mexico, where there are
166. 1873 less than last year. The states
showing the largest increase are Texas,
45,9O3; Illinois, 1909; Michigan, SO, $50;
Iowa, 11S,0CS; the Dakotas, 215,6S1 !;
California, 371,231 and Ohio, 4O6, $50.
Expert estimates from these figures
show that the total yield of the United
States in 1892 as 31S.053,7 ISL pounds, or,
estimating the shrinkage of pulled
woods at 40 per cent, secured yield of
4l,096, 937 pounds. This is an increase
of 12,652,2 pounds in the grease or
100000 pounds secured.

The Money Not Stolen

CREEDE, Col, Feb. 2s.-There is posi-

made in any quarter, although disturb
ances may arise when purchasers from
the state attempt to take possession of

To Marry tho Princes. MAY.

LONDON, April 25.--The Manchester
Courier asserts that Prince George OF
Wales is now engaged to the Princess
May of Teck, who was the intended
bride Of the late Duke of Clarence. The
statement does not create any great
surprise, as Prince George has made
visits to the Teck's on several occasions
since the death of his elder brother, and
is reported to have shown very
friendly feeling for the princess. A
match between the two would, it is said
on good authority, meet with the un-
reserved approval of Queen Victoria
and the Prince and Princess of Wales.
