per cent the wool is worth 16 cents in the grease. On the other

CLASSES OF WOOL. 



The value of wool is influenced more or less by its length and it is 

 classified accordingly. The longer wools are known as "combing" 

 and the shorter ones as "clothing." These classes are shown in 

 Plate I. This classification is founded upon the English or Bradford 

 system of manufacture, which requires a wool to be about 2| inches 

 long to be successfully combed. The lower grades of combing wools 

 are usually considerably longer than this, as the coarser wool generally
