The Farmers Best Markets.

1t has always seemed to me that it
was infinitely better that the farmer
should have a market at home, a mar
ket at his very door, than TO be compel
led to seek market in distant coun-
tries and among distant populations.
AS long as there is demand at home it
is self evident proposition that it is
better than to seek consumers abroad,
and that the home demand is safer,
more reliable and more profitable than
any foreign market can possibly be.
American buyers are the best in the
world. Hon. William Mckinley.

Cheap Chinese Wool.

1t is not, perhaps, generally known
that the wool industry of America is
being seriously threatened not only
from the rapid increase in the produc-
tion of sheep in the Argentine Republic,
Australia, Canada and some European
countries, but also III China. Twenty
five years ago there were no imports into
this country Of China woods. In 1870
there were 8, 016 pounds of China wool
imported, of the value of but $l,312,
the import price per pound then being
10. 45 cents; whereas i'll the present year
(lS95) the imports of China wool have
reached 26, 0S9, 4lS pounds, of the value
Of $l,699,4 Ala, the import price per
pound being 8. 15 cents. This China
wool, moreover, has been demonstrated
to be equal to our low grade of merino
wool. Hon. John II. Mitchell.

Rags Are light Weight.

BRADFORD, June 90.
Talking TO one of our leading worst
ed coating manufacturers and discuss
ing pointedly the large volume of trade
Bradford was doing with your side. he
accidentally said:
"Do you know that thousands Of clay
worsteds which are being sent to Amer
ica are being finished with liquid zinc?"
Liquid zinc," said in utter aston
ishment whats that?"
why, understand that it's simply
zinc, melted or boiled into thin liquid
and applied to worsted coatings in the
finishing process. "
AS appeared fiabbergasted. he blurt-
ed off abruptly, Its quite right what
1 say, for was told few days ago by
finisher who has finished thousands
by this process.
'Then explain to me further" said
anxiously.
Very we'll. You, being an expert
enced man in the Yorkshire trade, know
that orders for thousands of pieces have
been given out by American buyers
(this was last August) at such a low
price that manufacturers hardly know
how to put them together for the mon
ey. Those pieces ordered must weigh,
according TO contract, so many ounces
to the yard at such and such price.
But manufacturers soon found ont that
if they give full weight of honest mate
rial, according to agreement, no profit
would result whatever. So, in order to
make ends meet with more alacrity and
margin, they are simply turning l6
ounce clay worsteds by this zinc process
in finishing into Is ounce, adding at
least 2 ounces to the yard Of this injuri-
Gus material. That, of course, means a
nice profit TO the maker instead of GER
tain loss, for zinc, of course, is cheaper
than worsted.
was astounded and resolved to in
vestigate further from a reliable cloth
inisher who has turned out thousands
of finished pieces. Knowing him init
mately, turned the conversation on to
this very subject.
Yes" said he, you are right in
your statement. But liquid zinc is rath-
er too fine a name for this ignominious
process. We are finishing today thou
sands Of pieces yearly and weighting
them falsely with -four, epson salts,
salts of lead and salts Of zinc, and
though the pieces when finished give no
perceptible signs of containing this
health injurious matter, yet there it is
in the piece. giving TO the cloth an in
creased weight, when really the actual
weight of the piece is several pounds
lighter than the scale shows it to be.

ing cloth and necessary to the British

season is so far advanced with sales so far
Of only about 100 900 tons.
