HEAVY. CONSUMPTION
OF WOOL INDICATED
Big Increase Shown in Figures
for Month Of January.
Largest Percentage Of Material Used

Grease Content and Accounts
for High Figure Given.

The present year promises to estab-
lish record for wool consumption. II
the amount consumed In January Is an
Indication. According to figures OF the
bureau of markets. United States de-
partment Of agriculture. 72,TO0,0O0
poundes of virgin wool. grease equiva-
lent. were consumed by manufactur.
ers in the United States In January.
compared with 3S,2OO,0O0 pounds for
the corresponding month In 1919 and
65,1OO0OO pounds In January. 1918.
The amount consumed was more
than the monthly average for either
1918 or 1919 and higher than any
month since May. 1918. The largest
percentage Of wool used was fine,
which has high grease content and
Is, no doubt. partially responsible for
these high figures. At the same time
Il continues TO reflect the publlc's In
sistence for fabrics composed Of fine
wools, the consumption Of fine wool
being the largest reported for any
month since the Inauguration of the
monthly wool consumption report by
the bureau Of markets.
The percentages Of grades used are
as follows: Fine, ~ per cent: one

WALLSTEIN FEARS
CITY'S BANKRUPTCY
Hylan Administration
as Extravagant in Use Of
Public Funds.

! In a statement issued yesterday as
Leonard NJ Wallstein. counsel of the
Citizens Union. says that the amazing
revelations" in connection with the
preparation of the 1921 budget indicate
that "the Hylan administration threat
ems to run the city into bankruptcy and
to saddle the pople with a tax burden
which they will be compelled to carry
for many years"
The pay-as-you-go policy designed to
safeguard the city's credit has been
thrown aside under various pretences,
and money which the officials had no
right to use has been spent. Mr.. WALL
stein states
1.-THE administration will eliminate
from the budget many millions now in
cluded in the estimates for capital i'm
rrovements and then preen itself for it's
economy" Mr. Wallstein states. Then
il will issue city bonds for most of the
improvements thus eliminated from the
budget and pile an enormous addition TO
,the city debt.
"On July 81 the Comptroller reported
that the clty's free and unencumbered
borrowing capacity was about 5000
000 From that date TO this substantially
all of that amount has been authorized
for expenditure in new capital improve
ments. Aside from the increased Dor
rowing capacity incidental to the huge
enhancement of realty assessments just
announced, ii may safely be said that
the city now has hardly penny of IN
encountered borrowing capacity. and the
Just acquired borrowing capacity Is to
be used for the programme of capital
expenditures which will be eliminated
from the estimates for next years bud
get.
1.-THE result will be that the safe mar
gin of s50.000.000 borrowing capacity
which everybody comedies the city
should have in order to protect it's credit
will vanish soon and so again the Hylan
administra ton will have overturned and
demolished n safeguard on the city's
credit and protection against excessive
taxation which had been established as
the result of bitter experience"
