and was unturled over the State House
st montgomery, Ala.
Or the battlefield the flag bore such
q similarity to the union fig that il
September, 1861, Gems. Beauregsrd anC
Johnston created what afterward be-
cane known as the battle hag-a red
ground, with blue diagonal cross en-
blazoned with white stars, one tor each
State. This form was adopted by al
of the troops east of the Mississippi
river. The first design, bearing tht
objection of resemblance to the Stars
and Stripes, and the battle flag having
no reverse, the Confederate Senate, IL
Anril, 1868, adopted white flag, With
broad blue bar in its centre, which
was amended by inserting the battle
f.g design as the union. with plair
white ground for the field. This or
rapgement afterward proved faulty, Is
at distance the large white field re-
sembled q flag of truce, and, also, as
combined with the union, was similar
TO the English white ensign.
On February 4, 1865, the Confederate
Senate adopted third change: "The
width, two. thirds of its length; with
the union, now used as a battle flag, 10
be in width three-ffths of the width OF
the flag, and SO proportional as to
leave the length of the field on the side
OF the union twice the width below il;
to have ground of red, and broad blue
saltier thereon, bordered with white
and emblazoned with mullets or five
pointed stara, corresponding in number
to that of the Confederate States; the
field to be white, except the outer half
from the union, which shall be red
bar, extending the width OF the flag"

shortage in fine wool the world over
is daily becoming more apparent. Ad-
vices from Australia show another
shortage of 100000 bales of wool, this
time on the new clip. Continued
drought has cut short and greatly en-
feebled the last crop of lambs, and
scarcity of winter feed threatens to
make extensive inroads upon the stock
of weak and impoverished ewes. The
present Australian wool clip is light
and much of it poor in quality. The
next seasons clip will show still
greater falling off in quantity and
quality. Cross-breeding has cut down
the fine wool clip of Argentina to very
modest proportions. France and Ger
many produce considerably less fine
staple than formerly and, with the pos:
sible exception of Russia, there has
been no noticeable increase in the pro-
duction of fine wool in any one of the
leading wool-growing countries, but
rather material and serious diminu-
ton. In the United States the amount
of fine wool of home growth is alarm
ingly small. Stocks of fine staple in
store or factory are steadily going in
to consumption, with comparatively
little in sight anywhere in the world,
to replace them. Growers and holders
of fine wool are facing very promis-
ing situation in which there are no
possible contingencies of loss.-Farm-
