ABSTRACT
M R . J. SUTCLIFFE, woolstapler, Huddersfield-South Down wool was formerly applied for making cloth for home consumption regularly, for the clothing of servants, &c.; it was also used for army clothing. It is now no longer used for those purposes, it makes a furzy, soft, hairy piece; it has not that fastness in it that foreign wool has; it makes coarser cloth than it used to do. Scotch wool was used fourteen years ago in cloth that went to America; the better kind of Scotch wool was used for the home trade, in making narrow plains; it is now gone a step lower, and is used for low goods that are exported; so that English wool has partly taken its place. Scotch wool comes in with the very lowest Danish and Iceland.
