The wool season iu Michigan will
open about the middle of May, says an
exchange, and, as compared with a clip
of between 6,000,000, and 7,000,000
pounds last season, it is expected that
upwards of 30,000,000 pounds will be
marketed. The farmers the past few
years havebeenCultivatingtheirflocks
and the increased product is the natural result. Ud to two or three years
ago a large portion of the Michigan
clip came into the market washed, but
tbe expectation nowis that fully three-
fourths of it will be offered in the unwashed condition this season. The
buyers bave been urging this for the
past two seasons, because it saves them
the necessity of so closely inspecting1
each fleece to guard* against tags, refuse and other extraneous matter
which they have learned by experience
creeDSinto washed fleeces in amazing
quantities unless guarded against,
Clare will have two or more buyers this
year, who, as usual, will pay the highest prices for all wool offered in the
market which, it is thought, will be
more than 40,000 pounds.
Because cro Jvds of men and boys have
not paraded our streets wibh sticks
and clubs, and firing guns in the air,
shouting "down with Spain." while
they dragged at the end of a rope a
Spanish flag, and' then burn in effigy
some leader of the Dons—because such
scenes have not been witnessed here,
it should not be supposed for one moment that Clare is indifferent to the
critical condition of affairs between
. , , . the United States and Spain. There
