In an article on the steady rise in the raine of wool, the Textil Zeitung of Berlin states the principal cause to be a decrease in the produc tion, which has been most marked in South Afries in consequence of the war, and in Australia owing to the severe drought, which only terminated about the middle of the year 1903, when the stock of sheep, which in 1902

In Europe the yield for the last few Feare has remained more or less stationary, but if we go back to 1873 we find that changes in the agricultural conditions of the different countries have considerably curtailed sheep- breeding.
