You VIII Pay More
for Clothing Soon
Advice IS---Buy Now

New York, May 17.-That suit you
paid S25 for last winter is worth $37 90
at today's price Of wool. Clothes costs
will also experience further sky.
rocketing when Uncle Sam starts max.
ing uniforms, overeoats, blankets and
shirts for his army of two million men
New York clothing manufacturers de.
clared today.
California wool which was worth ten
cents pound before the war began
sells for fifty.five centsla pound now.
This is said TO be largely due to huge
orders placed by British and French
governments for uniforms. Many
American firms are now refusing for
eign contracts, but the price stays high,
it is declared, because the British
government needs all Australian and
New Zealand wool for itself Three
hundred million pounds of wool are
grown in the United States annually
and six hundred million are needed.
The extra three hundred million comes
from South America.
According to these clothing dealers,
the government will need three and a
half yards more for his overeoat when
the manufacture of the two million
army garments starts.
Under present conditions, with the
new army needing 4s0,0O0,000 ounces
of wool for its uniforms and with meat
prices so high that many sheep are sent
to slaughter, the manufacturers forsee
still higher prices which will probably
hit the purse next winter.

This Is coffee story. The ways

committee recommends generally goes.
Hence the wholesale dealers have noti-
fled the retail stores Of Salem that one
cent pound will be collected on all
coffee invoiced after May 10. Should
the recommendation Of the committee
pass, the big firms that roast and deliv-
er coffee to the wholesalers will shove
the price up one cent, the wholesaler
will pass it on the retailer and then the
grocery stores and small retailers will
have to take the loss of one cent a
pound or pass it on to the ultimate con-
sumer. The ultimate consumer happens
to be the housekeeper who is trying to
hold down the monthly grocery bill
