Sales of Imported Wool
At Cost Boston Feature
Sellers Getting Out Without
Loss; Quotations Are Sur
prise to Trade
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

BOSTON, Oct. l. Prices at which
dealers are selling imported wool is
a feature of the wool market. The
fact that sales of these woods are TAX
ing place at figures which cannot pos
sibly be much more, if any, than cost
cannot be accounted for. South African,
South American and Australian woods
have been selling at prices which just
about allow the seller to get out"
without loss.
Cables from South Africa say that
Cape woods for securing for the wooden
trade, six to eight months clip. Tran
sl<eis, c. and f. this county, are quoted
at 81 cents. Basutos, similar style
and grade, are quoted at 80 cents.
These figures, with ascent duty
added as under the emergency tariff,
would bring the prices to 50 cents for
the Trsnskeis and 80 cents for the
Basutos. These levels are absolutely
prob ibitive, and is proved in the fact
that Super 70s quality. snow-white
secured. much higher grade, is offered
in the Boston market at 50 cents. All
three of the grades mentioned above
go into all kinds of fine woolens

Trade Looks for Goods
To Follow Rise i'm Cotton
Developments on Strong Basis
Indicate Increased Demand
at Higher Prices
Special Dispatch to The Tribeae


NEW BEDFORD. Mass. Oct This
weeks developments in the cotton in
dustry have been of such a nature and
on broad enough basis to strengthen
those who have contended that the
trade III general would follow the sd-
vance in prices which has been set in
an upward swing by raw cotton. While
the sale of goods has not reached such
proportions or the increased prices on
finished goods been large enough to re-
move the trade from all complications.
this 1eer, has unquestionably been the
most reassuring, taking the cotton in
dustry as a whole, that has been ex-
perienced since the depression started.
There are two outstanding factors
which mark the stronger tone and in
creased sales. In New Bedford there
has been noticeable increase in the
purchase of raw materials. Buying OF
cotton is still on a greatly restricted
basis, but the week has witnessed
enough sales to indicate that the manu-
facturers are re-entering the market
and that the shippers and the mill men
are getting nearer in their negotiations
as to what the new price level shall be.
Equally satisfying to the trade is the
continued advance in cotton mill stock
here and in Fall River.

New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1921-10-02

We believe that, whether the present
plan of reparat lions is feasible or not.
the relations between England and
France Will not be disrupted, even
though they may be severely strained.
This removes. We think, the poss ibility
of another European cataclysm We
believe that only another international
conflict or Il labor revolution would
cause the important neutral countries
to default or suspend payment of in
terest on their external debts. The
hrst Of these causes, we think, would
be prevented by the maintenance Of
good will between France and England.
We shall speak of the second later.
1t IS poss Bile, however, that the
paratons plan will be changed The
financial structure OF France and Bel
GUM are so dependent on reparations,
however, that change might seriously
impair the financial strength Of these
two countries, particularly France But
we do not believe that any readiust-
ment OF the reparatioas plan VIII be
50 radical that France will be unable
to meet her interest payments on the
external debt, and Belgium would be
less seriously affected. In recommend
ing French bonds we count strongly
also on the responsiveness Of the
French nation when the national honor
IS at stake.
In forming our opinion we nave not
put labor revolution beyond all posi-
olity. but we consider it TO be so re-
mote That it gives US practically no
pause IN recommending those bonds
toward which we are favorable.
The result Of this process of reason
ing, outlined here in the briefest form,
IS the following order of preferences:
United kingdoga. which we place only
below our own government obligations;
Denmark. Sweden and Switzes land;
France, Belgium and Norway, and Italy.
We would not advise any one t. buy
bonds Of any of the so-called Central
European states. We think that we
hold the external obligations Of Ar
gentlna, Brazil and Chile compare
favorably with those OF continental
European states.
You say that Germany is headed for
the biggest smash IN historY We
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1921-10-02

assume that you mean a financial. not
economic, smash, and financial only in
ne sense that the currency will he
Iepudlased. We see no hope whatevar
ior the German mark. But Germanv's
external debt is negligible and the in
demnity is payable in gold. The re-
pudlatlon OF the reichsmark would not
necessarlly crack the reparations plan
ne currency unit might be changed
Dy the reparations plan would still be
III terms OF gold
from observers in Germany tend to
confirm our belief that Germany is
economically making progress, The
pflce OF 40 cents for days work is
not az bad as it sounds Fort cents
converted into marks would buy far
more in Germany than 40 cents OK
pended in the United States. We be-
heve that it is true, however. that
wages IN Germany have not kept pace
WITH the commodities index number,
and your apprehension for the German
workman Is to certain extent justi-
ned.
But the point to remember here. we
think. is this: that regardless Of the
course OF the reichsmerk the repara-
,ons plan can be satisfactorily worked
out in terms of gold, and only an
economic smash IN Germany can en-
danger the financial structure of other
European states.
We should add one point about
france. 1t has definite superiority
over Belgium and Switzerland in one
respect-its agricultural wealth; and
with this should be considered its hold
upon the north coast of Africa. the i'm
portance OF which, we think, has been
underestimated
This is simply bald outline OF the
judgment which we have formed and
on which we base our advice We do
rot believe any European bond, with
the exception of the United Kingdom
issues, is "a safe investment for a
widow who has no other investments. "
But we do believe that number Of
European obligations can be recon-
inended in diversified lists and called
good investm
