WooL.

It appears that about 25 per cent, of the entire production ol domestic wool during the census year of 1880 came from two States, Ohio and California. The former State produced 25,000,000 pounds and the latter 17,000,000 pounds. In the year 1870 the product of Ohio was 20,000,000 pounds and that of California 11,000,000 pounds. Taking the returns for 1880 of a few other important States in regard to woolf rowing, Michigan had a product of 2,000,000 pounds, New York 9,000,000 pounds, Pennsylvania 8.,000,000 pounds, Missouri 7,000,000 pounds and Wisconsin 7,000,000 pounds. Texas, by far the largest State in the Union, had only a production equal to that of Missouri or Wisconsin. But thri quantity was six times the amount it produced in 1870. The whole wool produce of the Union in 1880 was 155,000,000 pounds, clipped from 35,000,000 sheep.
