The wool OF the world must now be
supplied by the older countries, M the
manufacturers want wool OF different
grades that uro raised on farms, the

the fine wGoi w:s IT," chief demand aud
South America, australia and Africa
and the extensive ranches Of cheap wild

creased these hocks and the change to
the different classes OF wool must draw
the great supply from the farms Of
Europe and America.
Tho increased price OF wool from the
increased demand and short supply is
increasing sheep raising OF the mutton

the price OF wool has continually fallen,
SO TINT from 1895 to 1900 it had dccreaa-
cd fifty per cent below that of 1870 to

production enormously augmented i'm.
