J. Cunningham, president of the the drop in the prices of woolen clothing are not dependable cn tirely on the drop in price of wool. Mr. Cunningham, who has but lately re- turned from the East, bases his opin- fon on his recent interviews with lead- ing manufacturers of the country. He stated further that William A. Wood president of the American Wool Com- pany, says that a 15 to 20 per cent re- duction which he has made on woolens will aply amount to a reduction of $2 on a suit of clothes. He added that Puruing the snost successful seasons the profit on a suit did not exceed $1. Mr. Cunningham believes the high vost of experienced labor is largely re- sponsible for the continued high prices of woolen clothing. So far as he knows, the Herbert Hosiery Company of Philadelphia made the first reduc- tion in the cost of labor when it re- duced all wages 10 per cent. He quoted from a letter from a lead- ing wool house: . “There is a slightly better feeling in the market as the manufacturers are making some inquiries which will soon establish @ market basis. There are, bt course, large quantities of wool on the market. These consist of the entire clip of the United States together with a‘large amount of foreign wools) When the market opens the mills will take it only in small blocks as they must feel the way; it will be a long time be- fore the wool will be ‘disposed of. We expect a fair trade. There will be no prevailing extreme prices, as the mills and woolen trades have been too hard hit." Questioned regarding the crop for the year Mr, Cunningham stated that he considered it remarkable. “The fruit crop\is a particularly fme There are ehough- apples ty She wh) try,’" he said. a REDS OPEN BIG " OFFENSIVES ON THREE FRONTS (By United Press) LONDON, Sept.
