war IN 1917 war orders began tc
flow into the woollen mills, and the
flood of government business swe]led
to such proportions that finally, Just
before the armistice was declared
last fall, about three-ffths of the
woollen and worsted spindles of the
country were running on clothing
and other equipment for the army
and navy. 1t has been estimated that
the total amount of production thus
taken from the civilian trade was
two-thlrds Of a full years consump-
ton. AS this country depends on
its domestic mills for more than
nine-tenths Of its requirements of
woollens and worsteds, this extraor-
binary diversion of machinery from
civilian lines resulted in running
down stocks of goods in manufact.
uring and distributing channels to
very low levels.
AS to imports, during the last two
years the volume of woollen and
worsted fabrics in the piece and of
carpets and carpetings brought into
this country from abroad has aver
aged only one-third of what it was
IN pre-war days, and during the
early months of the current wear. so
far as reported, it has dwindled still
further. This has obviously been
due to the fact that European mills
have had all that they could do in
supplying the military needs of their
own governments. The total imports
of all manufactures of wool import
ed have been about the same dur
ing the last two years as before the
war in terms of value, but allowing
for the doubling Of prices this
means that the quantity of these i'm
ports has been halved.

TIME wool manufacturing indus
try of this country has ex-
perienced a remarkable re-
covery from the depression in which
1t found itself early this year.. On
March only 58.2 per cent of the
woollen spindles and only A7.3 per
cent OF the worsted spindles were
turning. By May /, which is the
latest date for which comparable
hgures are available, the number Of
active woollen spindles had risen to
1872 per cent and the number Of
worsted spindles active was TAP per
cent. The improvement is further
shown by the increase in the amount
OF wool consumed, from 23,186,818
pounds III February to 39,159,945
pounds in April. The increase in
active spindles and wool consumn-
ton up to May l would have been
much greater if it had not been for
the serious strike at Lawrence.
Mass, which lasted from the early
part Of February to the latter part
OF May. With that trouble now
ended there are no labor difficulties
interfering with production at the
present time, and most manufacture
ers are operating every machine for
which they can find operatives.
The industry is now running full
tilt. Most manufacturers have or

duce until well through the summer.

cent in gold output was due largely
to the complex treatment Of the ores
Of that state, and the fact that it's
mines are situated far from the
coast, thereby making labor difficult
to retain.
IN South Dakota the Homestake
mine, which is we'll developed and
has large reserve of homogeneous
ore, was able without difficulty to
maintain the normal output. The
production Of this mine contributes
by far the larger portion of the
gold output Of South Dakota, and
the decline for this state was only
8.3 per cent.

merchandise until we'll along in the
retail selling season. The demand
for woollen and worsted apparel at
retail is so large that wholesale
houses have been forced to cut down
retailers orders drastically and al
lot their merchandise according to
the respective needs of each buver.
Meanwhile prices are strong all
along the line, from the raw materi-
al to the made-up garments, and the
levels at which manufacturers
opened their fall lines this year now
look very low indeed. A leading
manufacturer of long experience
SAID this week that in his entire
career he had never witnessed such
& rlght-about-face from depression
to prosperity as that which has
taken place since last February.

of the chaos in which the Mexican

that period, and must still expand
its credit structure and correspond
ingly expand its currency to meet
that exigency.
With the signing of the peace
treaty there will be tremendous
demand for the delivery of great
variety of commodities to the Euro
pean countries. Those who have
waited will find themselves in the
same market in competition with
this great demand to obtain delivery
OF their equipment. Aside from the
delay, however, they will have
passed through a period of high
prices, and should be able to paw
what little excess Of price is now de-
manded for their equipment.
When the foreign demand arrives
1T will receive precedence of delivery
over domestic requirements for the
same products. And why should this
not be SO? These devastated coun-
tries of Europe are entering upon
a period of reconstruction that is
altogether vital to their existence,
and they should have the first COM
mand of all needed materials. And
American industry should, there
fore, be prepared to place its orders
during this present period, when the
domestic demand may be met with
out conflicting with foreign delivery.
This condition reminds me- of the
fact that, generally speaking, indus
trially America is marking time"
at moment when the country
should be going over the ton"

business in which they can engage
with more enjoyment, because of it's

In the matter of international
trade, l have said that the United
States has become creditor nation.
The United States has always, as
nation, expressed an advanced en-
lightened self-interest in it's interna-
tional relationships.
The country has goods abroad and
IS unable to get them home, and
must, therefore, do certain things to
Offset this condition. 1t will be nee
essary to educate the American peo-
pie, and it will likewise be necessary
to educate the people of Canada, to
the need Of absorbing the invest
ments of foreign countries in Can
ada and the United States. Why?
Because foreign countries with which
both Canada and the United States
wish to trade have no gold to de-
liver. They have no goods to de-
liver, because their industries are
paralyzed and the trade balance is
against them. To draw on the cur
rency in circulation would cripple
their internal financial structure.
With what will they pay? They
have nothing with which to pay until

chusetts mills had been running
htty-four hours week, and in
some states the working time was
somewhat longer. The cut to fortv-
eight hours, therefore, was re-
cuctlon OF over II per cent 1t has
been shown by careful Investigation
that when hours of operation are
reduced in the textile industry the
output of the mills is cut in practi-
cally the same ratio, as the volume
OF output is limited primarily by
the speed of the machinery, and the
machinery cannot be speeded up
simply because hours are cut. So it
is evident that the introduction of
the forty-eight-hour work week has
lowered the output of American
woollen mills by about II per cent.

California is shown by the chart to
have just about maintained it's pro-
duction ratio to that of the United
States, in a somewhat similar man
ner as South America maintained
its production with respect to the
world, notwithstanding the fact that
the economic pressure was so severe
in the United States. This may be
accounted for because of the fact
that much Of the California output
comes from placer mining, in which
labor is not as large a factor in the
cost Of production. The decline in
California gold production is 23.7
per cent. In Colorado the decline
is As per cent. This marked varia-
ton in ratio is due in part to the
difficulty in obtaining labor and also
to the complexity Of ore treatment
in Colorado, which involved the use
of chemicals, the price of which adj
vanced rapidly as the war pro-
crossed
In Alaska there is recorded a de-
cline of 45.5 per cent, which CORE
spends exactly with the decline of
Australia, and it can be accounted
for not altogether by the economic
pressure, but also by the closing
down of the Treadwell mine, which
was an important factor in contrib
utIng to the Alaskan output. Never
theless, the decrease in production
since 1917 shows the tremendous
effect of the war on Alaskan gold
mining.

Imports of Wool
Exceed 400, 600, OOOP Pounds

Imports Of wool into the United
States have totalled over 100000
600 pounds year during the last
three years and have been running
during the first quarter of this year
at rate of around 300,000.000
pounds for the year. The domestic
clip which is now being marketed
will be about the usual size, or close
to 300,000,000 pounds. These stats
tics of stocks, imports and domestic
clip may be compared with the con-
sumption of wool in this country.
which last year amounted to 7i0.-
100000 pounds. Consumption DUR
ing the first four months of this year
has been much less than during the
same period last year, having run a:
the rate Of only about 435.000, 0cO
pounds for the entire year. How
ever, as noted, wool consumption IS
increasing very rapidly, and during
the entire year it will aggregate very
much more than the monthly figures
for January to April would indicate.
Furthermore, the demand is chiefly
for the finer woods, which are II
much less supply than the coarsef
varieties.
In brief, then, the woollen and
worsted industry of this country is
in the fortunate position Of having
a broad, strong demand for its prod
ucts at remunerative prices. For th>
present, at least, it is free from labor
difficulties. The only cloud on the
horizon is the apparent shortage Of /
the finer woods available for use n 7

whereas normally the gold mines of
the United States produce one-ffth
of the worlds gold output. This
denotes the extreme economic pres
sure to which the gold mining indus
try of the United States was sub
jected on account of the existing in
ternational situation and reflects the
volume and rapidity of the financial
mobilization of the United States
upon entering the war. The effect
was much more acute here than it
was in some other countries that had
felt the pressure from the begin
ming in 1914.

4" HE economic situation has
been changing rapidly and
it is difficult to account for
changes which are momen-
tous and have serious bearing upon
the solution of problems of the pres
cnt and of the immediate future
I In 1915 the high point of the pro-
duction of the worlds gold was at
tanned, s469, 100000 being credited
to that year. The decline in gold
production has since been rapid.
The percentages of reduction of out
put in the last three years with re-
spect to the production of 1915 are
as follows: The total decrease in
the worlds production is 20 per
cent. The curtailment for South
Africa was only Ga per cent. The
fact that the decline in South Afri-
can production was so much less
than in the total world production
arises through South Africa being
more remotely situated from the
centre of economic pressure. The
operators Of South Africa had prob
ably accumulated large food and
equipment supplies, which post
poned the necessity of making pur-
chases in the higher-priced market
which followed. Another factor
which may account for this con-
dition is the Improvement in recov-
cry in the treatment of South Afri
. can ores, which has tended to COM
pensate for the economic conditions
that have been so universally op-
pressive to the gold mining industry
generally.
