FINE.

The prices for the period from 1852 to
1873 given in currency in the table, Is
reduced to coin rates In the foregoing e.
Inmates.
This average OF prices discloses that
fine wool maintained higher rates in the
market from 1851 to 1850 than any of the
other periods with which comparison lie
made, except from 1924 to 1888, and it's
average is less than 2Hc. per pound be-
low it, which difference may be readily
accounted for by the flush times from
1928 to 1888.
Medium wool averaged higher for 1851
to 1860 than from 1885 to 1916, slightly
lower than from 1924 to 1888 and from
1852 to 1871, which last period included
the war period, and also lower than from
1871 to 1880, but ranged considerably
higher than the average from 1881 to
| 1890.
The price of coarse woods ruled higher
from 1850 to 1860 than through either OF
the previous periods, and slightly lower
than the average OF either Of the two
which succeeded it, but the average Of
rats for the last period shows q very
marked decline of prices az compared
with the former.
It should be noted that in this long pc
Rod of years there occurred some circum
stances OF flush and depressed timei
which might be expected to influence the
range Of prices. Thus there were ausf
