The wool clip of tho United States
for 1876 was about 200,000,000 lbs ;
of Engltn and, Ireland, and Scotland,
abou 162,000,000, mostly combing ;
of the Continent of Europe, about
4 63.000.000; of Australasia, about
350,000,000 ; of Buenos Ayres and
River La Plata, ab ut 207,000,000.
These are trie principal wool-growing
! countries of .Hie world, and produce
1,382.000,000 out of the e-tima'ed
j 1',.110,000,000 produced on t he entire

clip would probably aggregate $450,
