are not so well remunerated for their labor, and the capital employed 
as those who make the medium and low qualities. 
Judging from the present state of the cloth trade, and the small 
stock of wool remaining in market, it is supposed that the opening 
prices for the coming clip will be somewhat above those of last sea¬ 
son ; and that whatever advance, if any, which may follow, will 
not bo so rapid as in 1849; and that should the supply of medium and 
low wools fall short of the demand, (which seems probable, should 
all the machinery be kept in motion,) the prices may rule nearly as 
high in the course of the year as they did last year. For the finest 
Saxon grades a similar result cannot be expected, as the supply 
somewhat exceeds the present demaitd. The prospect, however, in 
regard to these qualities may be changed for the better, by an ad¬ 
vance in the prices of fine broadcloths and cassimeres, a result which 
is probable, though not certain. 
It is believed that the clip of wool of 1850 will fully equal that of 
1849—less in some sections and more in others; and that upon the 
whole this important branch of agricultural industry will be fairly 
rewarded.
