AUSTRALIA Will

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2R.-The
business community heard with great
interest today that the British author
tiles had issued a permit for the SHIP
ment OF a large quantity OF Australian
wool 10 the United States by way OF

Of 10000, 600 pounds. have been re-

The story was confirmed by Regi-
maid Book, general manager OF the
Union Steamship line. MIR. Book said
at is true $4,000 bales OF Australian
wool have been released for shipment
TO the United States Cargo space
will now have TO be secured"
The business world receives the
news with qualification because Of the
shortage Of wool In this country
where the unwashed variety IL selling
at about so cents o pound and the
secured article at from 70 cents to
$40 per pound, according 10 grade
1t is also realized that Australia
with its l.500.000 bales OF wool, or
800 ,000, 900 pounds, is the world
great storehouse upon which the coun
tries at war must draw their sup
plies TO clothe their vast armies and
to keep down the price for civil CON
sumption.
The present released shipment will
mean 500 carloads for the overland
roads. They expect additional re,
leased shipments, so that the total for
the next IL months will call on them
to haul over 1000 carloads of the
freight.
This country last year. through its
wool importers, in order to supply the
needs Of the clothing trade for men
and women, had to import 100000

about $4,000 will have been "whirled"

pital. A great deal OF satisfaction and
iuhilation is being felt by members Of
the board and all others who have
worked so untiringly for tho past six
weeks toward the success Of the show.
Miss Lila Agnew Stewart. under
whose direction the show was given
and who has 153 similar performances
to her credit. was heartily congratu-
lated upon the unprecedented success
OF the entertainment. Miss Stewart
said that she found the natural abili-
ties OF the performers in this city
ranked higher than the greater major
ity of young people whom she has
trained in other cities.
SO great was the enthusiasm and
interest manifested in the show that
those in charge are confident that it
could have run several more days 10

Cold Weather
RIVER STEAMERS
KEEP ON SCHEDULE

Today opens the secoE% week Of
interrupted ferry service between
this city and Pennsgrove, only two
trips having been made since the
shut down a week ago yesterday. The
difficulty mainly Is the ice along the
New Jersey shore which effectually
prevents landing OF the ferry boats.
The heavy ice pack cannot be
broken by the boats In addition low
tides make navigation dangerous for
the ferry boats so that with the ex-
ception of the two trips mentioned all
ferry traffic has been suspended until
the ice pack clears the eastern shore.
There has been no break in the
schedule OF Wilson Line steamers to
Philadelphia, however, the boats
