The following digest of wool pros, pectin is from the 01r0U11re of leading wool dealers itt the United States :— One cause of the depression in general business, which has existed for a whole year, is attributed to a ear of possible financial dioturbaucos as the outgrowth of unlimited coinage of silver, threatening to drive gold ut of the country. There are how- ever, some favorable changes reported n the woolen manufacturing busi- netts, which have led to la More hope- ul outlook for wool the coming seas. u. To -day, quotations on many racies are lower than at any time last ear, and lower than at any lime since he war. This is certainly a refer asis upon which to operate than v11er0 wools were higher, as any hange, it would seem, is more likely o be toward higher than lower fig. fres. The present low range of prices for ool has brought no corresponding enoiit to the woolen manufacturers, or their goods, through the combined 8uenco of over•imporation and over - reduction, have deolined faster than w mature!, while e0 the other and wages have remained utterly as gh as ever. In point of fact, one the largest blanket mills fu Amer - a IS 111)23 closed, becalm its operat• e5 are on a strike for higher wages an were paid elnriug the war, the reported improvement, bow- er, in the woolen manufacturing slimes is eoniirmed by the eager. ss with which a few eastern manu- eturers have sought to secure oer- n celebrated clips on the cheeps' eke. These operations are more less misleading, and have a ten- uity to give those who handle the Damon run of wool a false idea of its e valu0. 7.1110 51tLlatlon ' '1n Ia nutahel3" is as :--The Eastern markets are well rid! of Inst year's clip as usual, uneuusuw01l stock fa the hands manufacturers is perhaps larger in usual at lila time, because 1)y of the wealthier Mill owners re t utpted by the 1.00501 decline to y fu adlvtauee of their wants, and surplus of w'ooleu gouda is prob. y much loss lhau 1t was at teas o last year when it order to sell it s necessary to meat to public arm - fatly who profess to have good torten/hos for knowing declare t W001011 goods are already actual- oareo, and that Ivo are on the eve period of industrial nativity. me8 are lower than at any time ce the war, and the clip of 1885 is mated to be smaller than that of 4, especially in oho 8ecth,ue east he llissisoippi river.

Notwithstanding the millions of sheep enerifieed during the last two years, because of the low price of wool, yet there are still over 40,000,- 000 of sheep to be summered over in this country, which must be consid- ered a stock interest of sufficient mag- nitude to require the best attention of those who prosecute it. The more experienced class of sheep owners, those who study the business and do not believe so important and eesential a branch of agriculture as the prod- uction of wool and mutton can be per. =silentlymeently unprofitable, are those who keep on the even tenor of their way, hold theirflooke, and study how the income may be improved. Those who Imre faith in theirbasiness are the ones who succeed. A menus ofenceesefnl farmers would not include many of the claee that change from ono branch of agriculture to another whenever the price of their product is unsatisfactory. The change brings a double loss—a sacrifice i0 the stook bold and loss in the high price paid for the nsw class el stookpurchased. Thne 01908 ere always changing from ono specialty to an- other, and thus lose ell they make in the profitable years, lint those whoremain in the sheep industry through the present year aro such as isve au abiding faith in their busineee, and ars ready to receive any suggestion of improvement. Sheep owners have gsnera1ly con- sidered the summer as the season when sheep can take care of them. Helves, only requiring to be confined to their pastures- It has very seldom been thought necessary to add any- thing to an ordinary pasture for sheep. But since there is now an ef• fort made by la lnrgs class of sheep owners to develop the mutton side of tbo sheep industry, as well as the wool, the question is, whether the summer management should not be reversed, and sheep be oonsidored worthy of good summer feeding, as ewers inteuded for beef. There are .now hundreds of cattle feeders alio feed some form of grain ration on paetu-o, especially when it does not furnish au abundance of grass. Sheep f&adore should remember that those intended for mutton, at any time during the year, should be especially pushed during the warm weather. The 01d style farmers have, in some way, got the idea that grain is loat on pasture, but if they will re. fleet a moment, it must bo platin that extra food, in warm weather, will all be applied to growth, as it takes lit- tle to keep up animal heat- Sheep aro apt to be 1101:1 upon short pas• taro, requiring groat diligence to pick up a living, Now, a little extra food, such as wheat bran, fed upon this short pasture, will put on more flesh than twice the amount given in winter, It is hardly safe to feed 31313111 corn to sheep in hot weather, as it Yeats the blood, anti is likely to pr0d000 inflammatory diseases.
