Cause Of High Wool Prices

M. M. Price, commercial agent at
the consular department at Wash
ton as follows:
1.-THE attention of European sheep
breeders is being called to the present
condition of the wool market. For
thirty-five Or forty years the price of
wool had continually fallen, SO that
from 1895 to 1900 it had decreased
fifty per cen below that of 1870 and
1875. Recently a rise In price has
taken place in the worlds market.
The fall in price was attributed prin-
cipally to the extraordinary develop
ment of the wool production in Aus
tralia, Cape of Good Hope, Argentina
and Uruguay. These countries pro-
duced about 1877, 900, 1000 pounds In
1870, $50, 100000 pounds in 1880, and
$50, 100000 pounds in 1889. The rapid
increase of production enormously
augmented importation into indus
trial countries.
"Some years ago there began a
progressive decrease OF the flocks in
European nations. In thirty years
there had been a decrease of $4,000, 900
sheep in the flocks Of England
France, Germany, Austria-Hungary
and Spain. The sheep in Australia de-
creased from 10S, 000. 900 in 1870 to
IAN 1000 pounds in 1898. The i'm
p~offtation of wool into Europe from
Australia, Cape of Good Hope, Argen'
tina and Uruguay amounted to 2,
$4,000 bales, 2.494,000 bales. 2.445,
600 bales 2,245,O0 bales and o,O45.
600 bales in 1895, 1901, 1902, 1903 and
1904, respectively. The price OF WOO
has steadily risen since 1901, and in
the case of the wool called 'cruzados'
or CROSSED" the price has increased
1ov per cent In the London market
This rise Is due &c the diminished pro
duction.
From 1910 to 1892 the number o
sheep bred In Australia. Tasmanis
and New Zealand increased with ex
tr%aordinary rapidity; their numbers
then began to shrink, and from 1891
to 1904 the decrease has been enor
nous. The Australian flocks de
creased from 1876, 0o0, 900 in 1892 Il
Ill. 100000 In 1897, 100. 100000 In 1895
81, O0o. 900 In 1902 and 7~3,00O,O00 II
1903. The frequent droughts were tn
principal cause of this decrease o
5000. 900 sheep from 1892 to 1905
On account Of this fact 1t is probabl
that the rise in the price of wool wi

o. w. Strong's Sons have had charge.
Agippa had been i'll for. some weeks.
During that time, or until the past
week, she had been in st. Joseph's
sanitarium, where she had received
every attention. Her case, however,
was hopeless from the start, and only
Meguelito. the medicine man, had n
hope. He persisted in his request
that he be allowed to try to save the
woman's life in his own way, and the
physicians, believing that there might
be a chance, allowed him to have his
way. For a time, when back in the
open air, it seemed that Agippa grew
stronger; but the Improvement was
only temporary. The squaw was one
of the most skilled of the weayers in
the Harvey museum.
Last night there was sorrow in the
little camp by the river. All of the
Navajos had joined Meguelito; and
soon after the body was taken away
by the undertakers, the Navajos. ac-
cording to the custom of the tribe,
gathering all of the dead woman's
effects. placed them in the rude hogan
Meguelito had constructed and burned
them. The fire attracted a curious
crowd OF people. probably a hundred
and fifty from the neighborhood com
ing to watch the flapnss. Presently
they Went away. and then the Indians
went back into the forest of willows
along the river and built a fire, where
they sat all night long, grooming the
Navajo death songs. Agippa was pop
ular with the Navajos and Mr..
Schweizer, who was at the camp late
last night, says that in all his expert
ences with the tribe he has never

from the Indians.

continue. Thirty years ago the coun-
tries named bred only Merino sheep
for fine wool. but afterwards the
growers crossed the breed with Eng
fish sheep of long. coarse wool, until
now the proportion of mixed wool ex-
ceeds fifty per cent of the whole.
Hence Merino wool is scarcer than
ever, and the caprice of fashion may
increase the price far beyond what its
quality merits.
