Special Dispatch to The Star NEW YORK, May 11.—Wool grow- ers and ultimate consumers of cloth- ing are wondering at present justi what conditions are necessary to bring isfaction to the manufacturers of len cloth. Word was veceived to- day from New England tha: the mills there felt they have sustained An- other blow owing to the drop in raw wool prices, which have fallen from 13 to 20 per cent on varfous gradés ®ince the first of the year. Last Fall the manufacturers complained of the high prices of raw wool, which, théy declared, made mill operations at a profit impossible. Trade Widely Upset. MHl managers say that, while the reduction in the cost of raw material is a factor tending to reduce cost of production for the time being, it is a tremendously disturbing _element in the business situation. They sy a smash in the price level uprets the cutting-up trades and the retail stores as well, and causes losses and havoc. To all of which growers dissent vig- orously There is no doubt of the substan- tial decline which raw wools have suffered. - Fine and medium staple do- mestic Wools, which last December sold at $1.70 a pound scoured, how may be had at $1.25. Ohlo fleece wools, which commanded 72 cents & pound in the grease, have fallen to 48 to 50 cents, and territory quarter- bloods, which were $1.30 clean in De- cember, now are offered at 85 to 90 cents. Fall Orders Unsatisfactory. Some of the Australian auctions ve been called off because of the trend indicated. and other world mar kets have recorded similar price movements. The London auctions now in progress have been materially curtailed. New England mills have been running close to the wind, ac- cording to all reports. The Spring demand was slack and the opening of the lines of goods for next Fall has been followed by a most unsatisfac- tory volume of orders. The mills have been buying sparingly in the open market for months, but just how their inventorfes are is not known. Worsted mills are operating on a part-time basis. Few are working at over 70 per cent of normal capacity and some are closed entirely. There has been a vigorous attempt to hold goods prices up and to some extent has been successful. Clothing Held Too High. Buying of clothing for some years has been anything but satisfactory. The clearest heads in the industry attribute this directly to the high prices for clothing which have ex- isted. The general average of cloth i prics today is about 136 per cent higher than in the middle of 1914, This represents a much higher level than other commodities. The majority of buvers have ex- pressed their opinion that these prices were much too high by reducing their purchases. Few believe, therefore, that consumption of woolen and worsted goods will show radical im- provement until prices have dropped sufficiently to stimulate demand. Wool Keeps Cloth Up. While it is true that raw wool [ prices have fallen approximately 15 per cent since January, there is littie |kelihood that prices for finished cloth will show similar reductions until the Spring lines of 1926 are offered This is due to the fact once the wool Rrowers the manufacturers. Many makers of cloths jumped into the market last Fall and contracted for the still un- grown clips of the flockmasters at extremely high prices. Certainly more than 60 per cent of the wool produced was sold in this that for outguessed manner before it was clipped. Whiie the market levels now are lower, man- ufacturers, nevertheless have to take these high-priced wools and use them. 1f_they buy cheap Wools to average DO YOU Assured safety with a liberal income of 67,%, or greater returns (promised only) which involve dangerous risks of security? * Play the game of absolute safety by pur- chasing our FIRST MORTGAGE NOTES se- cured on improved real estate in the D.
