S, London, Jan. 2.—American twine will be used almost exclusively to bind next year’s British harvest. Agents for the United States mills now on the spot have already placed enough orders for the purpose, de- spite earnest appeals to the farmers to give their businese to the home manufacturers on patriotic grounds. English farmers were told that if they would buy their twine from the English manufacturers they would affect a saving to the nation of $1,250,000 and 10,000 tons of cargo space for food shipping. Binder twine, it was pointed out, bulky, occupyving more than two and quarter times the space required for deadweight. The English farmers were also in- formed by the local trade that the manufacturers in this country were neve in a better position to supply all their needs. Stocks were said to be ‘higher than usual, because the ex- port of twine is prohibited. Eighty per cent. of the people employved in the local mills are women so that there. was no question of requiring male labor that might be needed on government work. As ‘to prices it Wwas claimed that the British manu- facturer could compete favorably with the one across the Atlantic. But for some unexplained reason the orders went to the Americans. The English farmers seemingly ig- nored all these appeals. The position was somewhat complicated in the case of dealers who handle Amer- ican agricultura] implements, as it is usually understood that these agents shall make a point of stocking Amer- ican binder twine is a City Items M.
