No. 105.] 527 



Mr. Afflick said, in answer to the remark, that the wool market 

 might be glutted ; that Mr. Lawrence, of Boston, informed him a few 

 days since, that he would now purchase for five years in advance, at 

 present prices. 



An animated conversation here took place on the subject of silk 

 growing, in which several gentlemen from the South engaged. The 

 facts elicited were of great interest, and calculated to prove conclu- 

 sively the feasibility of the business, and the certainty of its progress, 

 and final triumph.
