The representatives declared that Russia hopes ultimately to. grow all the wool required for domestic purposes. A first shipment of 1200 rams has already gone forward to Novarossisk, and others will be shipped during the present week. The purchase consists for the greater part of flock rams'and ewes. The Russians are ready to un- * dertake stud operations. The shipments are valued at 250,(XX) dollars. M.
