How To Sell Wool

I noUce, in vour issue of Match 21st, -Svory proper and verj serisibly writteu nttiele by V. A. Dryer, of . Lausing, ia which ho compluins thut after taking great pains to wash bis wool, and do it up iu a good marketuble manuor, using the least possible auiount of twino, tho buyer ackoowledged that liia wool was of superior quality, and done up in a wmkniaulike manner, aud yet be would giv.e bim no more per pound tban he fave tbo farmer wbo raised heavy, yolky wool, nol a quarter washed, and tben wullowed in the dirt on a smnmer fallow or public higliway four weeks bofore fckewHig, and almost covered with Leavy black twiao in tying up. Ho asks, II as uot tho cüurso puvsued by tbe viool dealers aud minufacturers for years patt in bujing our wool had a direct leudcDcy to discourage honest welltloing, and encourage the slovenly or diï-lionest farmer iu bis ruanner of preparing bis wool formurket?" We answer, uiost empbatically, it bas. Tbey tmploy men to buy for tbem wlio know Hule about wool. These persons buy on commission, aud aro restricted to a certain price, beyond whioh they cannot go, aud beiug paid only for what tbey buy, they take all they can get hold of at that price. The remedy for thia is in the hands of the farmers; and if the manulacturers are disposed to employ such ineffieieut buyers in the West, or allow epeculators to come in between them aud tbe faruaers, and obtain such enormous suma of money which really boloüg to the farmers, they eau refuse to iell Vo such men, aud quickly change the hole system. It s a fact well knowu to all, both East and West, that the great bulk of the wool raised in the West, is generally sold in the month of June, and in a very few days. These conimission agents employ uien who know even less abouc wool tbaD theiaselves, to ride through the country in breathless baste, and buy all the wool in their section iu twenty-lbur hours; while the smaller farmers who reside near the agents, witb their wool tied up in blaukets and sheets, rush with almost as great baste tó the agent to dispose of their wool, as the rider does to buy. In the Eastern cities, manufacturers and dealers are as mueh agitated and ruu about to obtain money on their paper, for wbicb. they pny heavy diseouots, to pay for the woo which is being scrambled for in the West. The farmer has to pay tbis heavy discount on paper ; he has to pay this enormous cost of buying; he has to pay these enoruious fortunes whichspec ulators mako on tLeir wool. Whatever the cost the manufacturer is at, in the purohase of wool, it is added to their account. And ie is the amount pai whieh con.titutets the oost of. manufao turing. To the manufacturero, it makes pp diffërence whether they pay tha öum to speculators iu the East, or to the farmers in the West, buts it doe inake a great differenoe to the farmers whether tbey or somebody else gete that money. Farmers may be assured of this, that iu the present systein of buying and selling wool, there is, to them, a large protective tariff, and they can have it if they will. Let the farmers be in no haste to eell their wool io June; they are not so piïshed for money as to be obliged to pay such heavy discounts for money in the .fciast, or to pay sucti enorrnous costs of buying. Wheo these gentlemen come aloDg who buy wool at the gallop, teil them to ride on. Few of these men are employed by manufacturera the great bulk opérate for speculators, who, when the wool is bought,.consign it for sale to the cotnmission raerchaota ; and here it is that discrimiuation ia used in the sale of wool. Here wool that bas heavy striag upon it, is sold for three cents per pound lesa than that which .has just enough ; here Mr. Dryer would find that his wool, well-washed and done up in the manner he representa, would bring from ten to fifteen or twenty centsper pound more than the quarter washed, Summer fallowed and highway dusted wool óf hia neighbor. The farmers can eonsign their wool to the commission merchaats, and keep it out of the hands of speculators; they can avoid that suicidat policy of rushing .their wool into the market in June, breaking down prices and upturniog everyt$ing. Ths is not done with other farm produce, and because it is not done bo witb wheat, is the reason why it is eold according to quaüty. Ii farmers are preased for money whon they eonsign their wool, the commission merebants will make advances ; he has to do it for the speculator and niight just as well do it for the farmer. He who had the choicest wool would soon find that he had not only obtained the bost pnce, wit had the readiest sale, aud the farmer who baa but a sraall quantity rnay rest assured that it would reoeive the same attention as larger lots. This would aleo be an advantage to manufacturera, for then they eould buj jusl when they wanted, and what they wanted, without the excitemenfc of the woo! season, or the necessity of ruehing ioto the money ruarkef, and increasing its value by making it scarce, and producing depreseions as soon as the demand for loans ceased.
