374 THE PRICE OF WOOL. 



abundant for the purposes of inference. Were the weight of the 

 Langley fleece exactly equal, as is hardly probable, to that of the 

 year before, the price from this locality would be singular. 



1321. The price, though still high, is considerably lower than in 

 the previous year. The evidence is not very abundant, but sufficient 

 for the general purpose of an inference. The facts contain a large 

 sale from Kaynham in Yorkshire. 



1322. Prices are tending downwards, except at Kaynham, from 

 which a second large sale is recorded, at higher rates than those of the 

 previous year ; but in other localities the value is decidedly lower. 



1323. Another large sale at Kaynham represents reduced prices; 

 but on the whole rates are rather higher, especially at those places 

 from which the most continuous information has been obtained. 



1324. The evidence is not very full, but contains information 

 from Hampshire and Warwickshire. There is a great difference in 

 the market price of the two kinds of wool, that from the latter locality 

 being much higher than in the other places. 



1325. The information is a little more abundant and diffused. 

 Prices, except at Southampton, are generally uniform, and are high. 

 The Cheddington fleece is particularly heavy. 



1326. The evidence slight, but it is derived from several distinct 

 sources, Wilts, Cambridgeshire, Oxfordshire, and Sussex. The price 

 in all these localities is almost identical. 



1327. The price is higher in all localities except the extreme 

 north, where it is, as usual, low ; but the entries from Ponteland have 

 not been taken in the average. 



1328. The evidence is scanty, and one of the localities, Sweynston, 

 has not been identified. The rate is apparently lower, though not 

 very considerably. 



1329. Only one entry is found for this year, except those from 

 Northumberland, which have not been included in the average ; but 

 Cheddington, from which this entry comes, generally supplies a 

 high-priced wool. The price is lower by comparison with previous 

 years. 



1330. Cheddington prices are low, those of Hawkesbury high, 

 those of Cuxham are intermediate. 



1331. Prices are generally higher, at least the rate at Wolford is 

 considerable ; but the evidence is scanty. 



1332. The information is larger and derived from distant sources. 

 The prices generally lower than that in the years preceding. The 

 Northumberland prices have again been omitted.
