WOOL QUOTATIONS
Much Speculation Brought Out
by American Wooden Co.'s
Published Statement.

Washington, Sept. 1O--Discussion OF
the full page advertisement published
in newspapers throughout the county by
the American Wooden company centered
the question of the prices to be quoted
by the company on its new line.
One government official, who has had
much to do with the wool industry and
knows the trade thoroughly, expressed
the opinion that the company could not
well afford material price reductions at
this time.
Labor costs have increased greatly
and such stocks of raw material as the

No department Of Justice official would
make any comment for publication on

practically every office visited in the de-

opened and lying on desks. All officials
seen admitted they had read the adj
but said they had no COM
ment to make.

into consideration the high priced raw
material which the company might now
have on hand, they were unwilling to
give any blanket Endorsement of con-
tinued high prices for this reason.
