COARSE WOOL IS PLENTIFUL
(Associated Pressl

Buenos Aires. July 1.-The cessa-
tion of the demand for coarse grades
of wool for army uniforms and the re-
fusal of average people. IN spite 81
TIE high cost Of living, to buy cloth
ing made of the coarse grades, has
left Argentina with more than zoo,
100000 pounds of almost unsaleable
wool on its hands, according to a local
manufacturer of wooden cloth, inter
viewed by La Nacion.
This huge quantity will be increas-
Ell during the seharing season in July
and August As the production of
wool in this country is growing year
by year, the problem of selling the
coarser grades is considered very
segious. One reason for the situa-
ton is that formerly Argentine sheep
breeders had thought more of the
meat than the wool, with the result
that their stock became mixed and
the consequent wool coarse and not
uniform.

HOSIERY MANUFACTURERS
OF JAPAN IN TROUBLE
Associated Press)

Toxic, July 16.-The financial de-
preston and the depreciation of cot
ton yarn has placed the hosiery man
ufacturers of Japan in a critical posi-
ton. Production in nearly all eenters
has either ceased or been reduced ow-
ing to the market prices offered for
the manufactured goods and the clos
ing of the money market, which has
cut the manufacturers off from their
supply of funds.
Scarcity of exchange funds and the
sudden advance of exchange rates
consequent upon the depreciation of
silver quotations. have helped to kill
the export trade. Wher the fall of
silver prices has seriously affected
Asiatic countries, the export of hos
iery from Japan has been very SER
iously interfered with. the buying
power of the mercantile community
coming to a standstill.
According to official figures issued
from Nagoya the financial depression
has dealt the severest blow to the
hosiery industry in that district. The
latest returns from the municipal Of
fee show that lis of the 225 factories
III Nagoya have closed their doors
and operatives are out of employ
ment and the manufacturers union
has organized a support association
for their relief.
