Atrougly the presumed accuracy of the estimate of last year. In the earlier 

 part of the war the mills were iu operation night and day ; in the latter part 

 their running time was less, but their niimber and capacity were greater. 



Thus it is seen that we manufactured double the amount of wool that we did 

 in 1S60, and that during the entire period of the war the increase over the then 

 unprecedented consumption of that year averaged fully seventy-five per cent. 



In addition to the amount of wool manufactured in this country, the amount 

 of woollens imported must be taken into consideration. The sum total, as ap- 

 pears from the following tables, was $87,782,918 during the same period. This 

 is S21,945,729 for each year. 



It will be readily seen from these figures that an average supply, in time of 

 peace, df all needed woollens can very soon be attained if wool of the United 

 Stales is not displaced by low priced foreign wools.
