1 3 o WOOLLEN EXPORTS. 



In the laft century the quantity of wool, &c. was much 

 larger, indeed it was fo great, as will appear from the follow- 

 ing table, as to form a coniidenxble proportion of the king- 

 dom's exports." 



Year 



Relative to the prices I have charged, the following table is 

 the authority. 



Market Prices of Wool in the Fleece, per Stone of fixteen 

 pounds; and. of Bay Yarn, per Pack, containing fourteen 

 great Stones, of eighteen pounds each. 



Wool is here rated at the market price for combing wool 

 TOMgh in the fleece ; but ao eftimate can be formed from this 

 upon what has been exported, the fmall quantities whereof 

 have been for the moft part wool upon fkins or coarfe fells, 

 which muft have come much lower than the prices herein 

 mentioned. 



Woollen yarn for export has not been an article for fale in 

 Ireland, what has been lent out was direclly from the manu- 

 facturer, I prefume in very fmall quantities, and from the port 

 of Corke only. 



Worded, or bay yarn, is fent principally to Norwich and 

 Manchefter, it fells by the fkain in Ireland, but in the preced- 

 ing 



* Unfettled, but zerj high. The pack of lay yarn is taken to 

 toniain zioo/kains.
