WOOL PRICES.
on UPWARD
TREND
Raw Material commanus
Highest Price Since
1929.
By w. 5. COUSINS.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.--Flaw woOi
today commands the highest price
since 1929, and the trend Of the
wooden market is still in an upward
direction. The Standard Statistics
company, compares with the 1929 )
low Of 74.28 cents a pound, estab-
lished last September, and the 1923
peak Of SS.9S cents q pound. estab-
lished last June. American Woolen
company's opening prices for wool
fabrics, announced January 81, were
from to 10 per cent higher than
those of last year.
Small Imports.
One of the outstanding features
Of the wool market has been the
small imports Of the staple into
the second half Of last year, accord
ing to a statement issued by the
Merchants National Bank of Boston,
only about 60,OOO,000 pounds were
brought into the country. as com.
pared with 327, 100000 in the first
half. This was largely due to the
slowing down Of the wool manu-
featuring industry in the last six
months. As result of the sharp
decline in imports, stocks Of wool
in this country on January first
were about 125,O00,000 pounds less
than on the first day Of January,
1923.
AS the result Of an exhaustive
ditions, the Standard Statistic COM
pany issued the following state
ment.
ID 1.-THE trend Of raw wool prices4
Is definitely upward. Values on
practically all grades are expected
to move higher during the next five
or six months, although the med
ium qualities are likely to show
relatively the greatest strength;
(2) Quotations on yarns have
recently begun to strengthen some
what. This hardening tendency Is
likely to become more pronounced
| in the near future. Early in the
spring season prices will probably
register some rather StzeaDIe ad-
Vances;
Firm Price Levels.
(3) ''Firm price levels, with
slightly rising trend on some lines,
is indicated for woolen and wOrsted
fabrics. Quotations on the new
fall lines, which will be offered
very shortly, are expected to show
small advances over those for the
last season;
~ Business in the cloth manu-
featuring branch Of the industry.
although still restricted by unfavor-
able sales conditions, is slowly ex.
panding in volume. The prospect
Is for a further (and more sub. ,
stantial) increase in buying activity
during the coming spring season.
(5) "Greater activity in the raw
wool and yarn markets also appears
probable for the near future.
Fabric producers. generally speak.
ing, are carrying relatively small
stocks OF these materials, and win
very likely be forced to replenish
their supplies before spring.
60 Consumers, who are in the
raw wool, yarn and woolen and
worsted fabric markets, either eur.
rently or prospectively viii find few
advantages in hand-to-mouth pur-
chasing policies. The best appears
/ to be that Of keeping comfortably
covered on the next six months re-
quirements."
