CLOTHES WILL COST MORE
Sharp Rise In Prices Follows Shortage in
Cotton and Wool.

Within few months every one who
wears clothes made of cotton or wool
will have to pay more for them. The
cause of this is an advance in the price
of the raw material entering into the
manufacture of wooden cloths and a
shortage in manufactured cotton.
The wooden situation is primarily due
to the drought which prevailed in Aus
tralia in 1897 and 1898. 1t has been
made worse by the brisk demand for
Australian mutton to feed the British
troops in South Africa. The two years
drought. in Australia killed off nearly
so per cent of the wool-bearing sheep,
and the sudden demand for mutton has
made it more profitable for the Aus
tralian farmers to slaughter what re
NAMED than to keep them for wool
growing purposes. The food demand
it is feared, may also induce the Aus
tralians to cross the breed of their
sheep. as those which grow the best
wool do not make the best mutton.
Australian wool has risen so per cent
in price in the last six months What
could be bought at 60 cents pound six
months ago now brings 80 cents, and in
England, where the stock on hand is
small. it is quoted at 81 a pound.
there is every prospect of a further
advance, and the strong market for fine
wool has stiffened the price of the
cheaper and medium grades
The prices of manufactured cottons
are also soaring. Cotton men expeo
that every mill in the country has sold
it's entire production of piece goods up
until next July, and there is hardly a
piece of cotton goods to be bought in
the market today for immediate deliv-
cry. Prices are now nearly % per cent
higher than a month ago.-Chicago
Trade Journal.
