From the New-Yort Patron Of Tndsstry,



We are informed, that large quantities
Of coarse wool could now be sold for
manufacturing, if it could be had. The
demand greatly exceeds the supply. lis
to be hoped, that this State will adopt
some measure to encourage the culture Of
sheep. Fifteen or twenty millions of
sheep might be kept il this State aud
the annual income from the latter num-
ber, at the present prices of wool, would
exceed the annual value Of all the cotton
produced in the Southern States. If the
lreemen Of this state would attend to the
subject, they might soon make their la
bour worth as much as that Of slaves,
whereas at the present it does no. produce
above tenth part as much.
