CLASSES OF WOOL. 
The value of wool is influenced moie 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
