" The local wool growers and the buy

ground, and if relhhlo reports are to be
believed, tho wool which has ao far re

Our Trade With England.
The most confirmed hater of England
in thia country can say nothing when
the question of business relations ia
weighed. For England is by far our
j bett foreign customer, and tho balance
in uur invur oi laie lias increased witti
singular rapidity. In October last we
sold Great Britain .iSO.OOO.OUO worth
Igooda and bought from it less than 4
000,000 worth, tho balance in our favor
in one month reaching the great sum of
if 10,000,000. it ia a striking fact that
this balance is 10,000,000 greater than
in the same month last year. How
deeply concerned the United States
would lie if it were carrying on business
witli any country at sncti a dixp.nity.
England undoubtedly buvs freely of ut
because it is to her advantage, but that
ia true of all sound and legitimate bu-i-nesj
transactions. Estimating the whole
year, which can now lie di.uu eloselv,
Great Britain's purchases in merchan
dise from us in 1000 will be $110,000,000
and ita sales of merchandise to us f 11)0,

months of $450,000,000.
