ADVANCE IN WOOL.

The prospects Of the wool industry
have Frightened very materially OF
late. The foreign markets, we are
told. have largely been relieved OF ac-
cumulations that were manufactured
last year in anticipation Of the effect
Of the change in the tariff in this coun-
try. There has been a slight recovery
from the recent lowest point in the
prices of tops and of foreign yarns
and at the last auction sale Of Colonial
woods in London. the first Of the March
series. there was an advance OF 10 Z
per cent in the prices Of wool as COM
pared with the closing rates OF the jan
uary sales.
Holders of American woods must Ill
timately be benefited by this change
for the better in the foreign markets
for wool and its products. The conse-
ouent increase in the cost Of produc-
ton abroad lessons the chance Of sue
CeSStul competition WIN uOi10S'iO
manufacturers. The latter have been
in command Of the home market ever
since the new Tariff law went into
effect. The worsted mills in particu-
lar. are being taxed to their utmost ca
pacity to keep pace with their orders.
After only three months experience OF
free wool and 40 per cent. on its man
features" it is extremely doubtful II
any considerable number of wool man
ufacturers in this country would now
consent TO change back again to the
system of taxed wool imports should
they be given the option.

- vALrE oF PoTAToEs.

A contemporary points out fact,
not generally known, that the people
of the United States import potatoes
from European countries nearly every
year. The home supply is seldom
equal to the demand, although we raise
millions of bushels every year. The
American farmers, with all their facili-
ties for raising potatoes, should be able,
not only to supply all of this countrys
needs, but, with profit, export a sur
plus. The following statistics are in
teresting:
During the year 1894 the imports were
2S6S. 21 bushels at "a cost Of Sl,21,4lb.
AGAINST A06ls59 bushels, worth Sg9N.l jus Tor
1898. All this I'M spite of the fact that for
the nine years. 1850 TO 1855. the average
yield OF potatoes was 1913 bushels per
acre, and the yield I'M 1894 was 62.3 bushels
per acre. worth j3 cents per busheL This
would give a gross average value TO the
crop of S33 per acre last year, against So ~
per acre for the wheat crop. The crop OF
Germany i'm 1894 was the enormous guam
tity of l2i9. IOf. ssh bushels Of potatoes,
and AZ we assume q value per buShel
equal 10 that i'm this country. the potato
crop iu Germany last year would be
worth 500. Qi33NS, q sum more than seven
times the value of our own crop OF pOta-
toes and equal 90 the combined value of
AN the wheat cotton. oats and buckwheat
produced i'm the United States i'm 1894.
This is an object lesson that Ameri-
can farmers may ponder over with
profit.

judge by the appearance Of the pro.
cession which filed down to the Rock
Island depot this morning, headed by

tdched a special coach for the Wei
