OUR WOOL REVENUE.
Referring to the present unsatisfactory price of wool, the Bradford Observer has> the- following : — " It is B'i years since English long wool has touched ao \ovr a price as now, and the alteration m Bradford seems almost as if her changed fortunes could be read m the . faces of her sons. The man who some years ago gay.c hard work >nd attention to his business, and was pro jpe red therein, and evidenced his .prosperity, has apparently. vanished and given place to men equally eager to work, probably superior m education, and certainly j carrying a greater weight of anxiety, who are wearing their lives out m a . cramped and depressing business, which, do what' they "willi yields them no return." Uponuj this the Agricultural Gazette observes : — "During the past year the average price of Lincoln wool has been ll^d-per Ib, instead. of ; l.s. 6£d per lb— the "average during the past 32 years — or- m other words the Lincolnshire farmefß ( aro losing £36.Q,000 >per annum ; and the losd of 5s per acre on cultivated land. of that country is forced upon them." ; .
