WOOL AND HIDES. 



1476. Finchale wool is unchanged. A considerable sale is again 

 made from Quainton at 13.?. 4^. Woolfells are sold at Cambridge 

 from 4s. 8^d. to %s. nd. the dozen, and at Osney from 4$. to 3^. 



1477. Wool is sold at Cheddar at los. 8d. the tod, but is unchanged 

 at Finchale. Woolfells at Coleshull sell at 3,$-. $^d. the dozen. 



1478. The wool at Finchale is unchanged. Woolfells sell at 

 Cambridge at %s. Sheep-skins at from 4^. 8d. to 3^. Sd. and 2s. 2\d. 

 the dozen. My accounts are in many cases meagre, but they are 

 unbroken hitherto. I have found no price for 1479. 



1480. Finchale supplies the only entry at 3^. Sd. Prices are lower. 



1481. Again Finchale is the only evidence, where the price is 

 4-5-. 4d. At Thorneton, probably in Yorkshire, some woolfells are 

 sold at 3-r. the dozen, and some others at 2s. ^d. 



1482. Finchale wool is higher, 5^. the tod. A large sale of Lord 

 Howard's wool is given in packs, bundles, and pounds; the tod is at 

 us. 8d. } if we are to take the pound as the ordinary avoirdupois. On 

 consideration, this seems to me to be the true interpretation. 



1483. The Finchale wool is at &s. zd. Fleeces at Oxford go from 

 4s. to 2s. 8d. and 25. If the best fleece here weighed a pound, this 

 will give 9^. \d. the tod for Oxford wool, a probable estimate. 



1484. The Finchale entry is at &s. 4^., and in 1485 at &s., at 

 which figure it stands in 1486; that of Wearmouth in 1487 being 4^. 

 A little broken wool at Coleshull goes, in 1486, at 4s. id. the tod, 

 and according to analogy good wool would be about 9.?. 



1488. The Finchale entry is 4-r. 4d. A considerable sale at 

 Fotheringay gives 2s. 4d. the petra. Fotheringay is in Northants. 

 4s. 8d. the tod is very low for this district, and I think that the petra 

 is a clove here, and the price should be 9^. ^d. Wearmouth wool is 

 very cheap, if the petra be of i4lbs., only 2s. 8d. The woolfells of 

 Fotheringay are at %s. $^d. the dozen. Those of Cambridge range 

 from 6s. (a few) to sheep-skins at 4s. } 2s. \d., and 2s. 



1489. The Finchale tod is 5-r., the Jarrow 4s. 6%d. Some wool- 

 fells at Cambridge are sold at >js. %%d. the dozen. The sheep-skins, 

 as before, are at 4,$-. and 2s. 



1490. Finchale and Wearmouth are at 4^. and 3-?. 



1491. A large sale of wool at Norwich gives 4s. 8d. the tod. 



1492. At Wearmouth and Wymondham (Norfolk) the price is 4^. 

 *493' Two considerable sales are quoted by the tod in Oxford at 



9-f. ; in St. Denis (Hants) at 7^. In the schedule these two districts 

 are rated at the same value. 



1494. Only Wearmouth is quoted, at 4^.
