REFUSE FLEECE TIED WITH SISSAL

The following letter from Dewey, Gould & Co., of Boston, has been received by Messrs. Mack & Co., of this city:

Gentlemen:

We, as well as other wool dealers in Boston and Philadelphia, are notified by several of the largest woolen mills, that they will absolutely reject all fleeces tied with sisal (or binding) twine.

We consider their position a reasonable and just one, as strands of this twine get into the wool and cannot be detected until the stock is dyed and in the goods, when they show, as they will not take the dye.

We caution you to advise the wool growers in your section before they shear, and, when buying, to refuse to take wool so tied except at price of the cotts and seedy.

Would suggest that you see that dealers who supply the farmers with twine.

The nearer we come to putting up wools to suit the customer, as the English and Australian growers do, the more satisfactory our trade will be.
