CHEAPER CLOTHING
UNLIKELY FOR YEAR
Wool Market to Prevent ANY
Marked Reduction for
Several Months.
HN j. c, ROYI.E.

NEW YORK. September 10
Lower prices for clothing Worn by
the people of the United States can
not be expected in the next year.
That is the conclusion drawn today
by Alexander Smith & Sons after an
exhaustive survey of the wool situa .
tion all over the world. According to
this conclusion. wool prices are sched- e.
uled to he fairly stable for long
time to come.
The actual wearing out Of clothes
is proceeding at a lower rate In
fact, it is less rapid than the rate at
which manufa cturers have been turn
ing out woolen goods, but the fact
remains that the world has been
wearing out wool faster than the
sheep population has been able to
grow il.
L. :. Leads in Wool Output.
There is every indication that the
rate of wool consumption in the
United States will be maintained.
while increased financial and political
stability in Europe is counted on to
result in larger consumption there.
Wool stocks are ~ or below normal.
There are no longer any large areas
Of new land i'm the world where Yapid
expansion Of wool growing can take
place.
The United States is the largest
consumer of wool. using twice as
much as is produced annually by
American hoCks. OF the wool used
here for clothing only so per cent is
home grown, and nearly all carpet
wools are imported. The strength of
the latter product is being indicated
by the results of the semi-annual
auctions of the Alexander Smith Sons
in,
With a strong world situation and
with growers protected by tariff of
81 cents a pound on clean wool.
clothing makers declare il is logical
10 expect prices to continue on a
relatively high basis for some years.
Wool production in the United
States undoubtedly has been spurred
in the last two years by advantageous
prices. But wool growing always has
been primarily a pioneer industry.
Sheep fit in where there is an abun-
dance of unoCCupied land and a scar
city of labor. In most producing Coun-
tries the peak of production has long
been passed. Here the industry reach
ed its peak III 1854, with a sheep pop
ulation of $4,000 900 head. The total
now is about S9,000,000.
Steady Expansion Seen.
Inc Cup Oh HGeCe WOOL IN TINS COQn-
try has increased from 90, ,560, 900
pounds in 1922 TO 249, ,SS5 900 this wear.
but figures show that the world has
been able to consume around 3,000.-
100000 pounds of Wool a year for the
last four years. and production has
not been expanded TO that figure.
Additional expansion in wool pro
duCtion in this country is probable. as
thess latter figures show. especially
~ wnol prices still are double the pre-
war scale. The tender.y on the
Western ranges is to exchange cattle
for sheep. and sheep are being given
larger place ii diversified farming.
hut such expansion is not counted on
materially to reduce WOOL ur clothing
prices.

New Field Invaded.

But in recent months, instalment
selling, under various titles, has en-
tered fields heretofore reserved by the
cash or cash and charge account
firms.
Not only can any one of fair reputa-
ton purchase a brand-new automobile
today by paying one-third to one-half
of the delivered price down and the
balance IN monthly installments; or
acquire furniture, musical inStru
ments, or a diamond ring by the same
| plan, but he can purchase a radio
/ set, get a new coat for his wife, buy
a suit of clothes for himself. or have
| his house painted by this method
and he can arrange for this with
| firms which likewise carry on their
cash and open account business and
are distinct from the firms which de-
pend almost exclusively upon long
credit business.
The "1O-payment plan" quite recent
! ly has been introduced into the retail
clothing field, operated by firms which
| formerly sold only for cash or on 80

! in that field.
! 1t is estimated that 80 per cent of

months of this year, passenger auto
mobile production reached 2,680, 900
cars. or these. 10000 We're exported,
leaving 100000 for the domestic
market. The estimate would mean
! that 10000 900 of these machines We're
sold on the installment plan, assum-
! ing that sales equaled production.
Further assuming that the average
delivered price was ST 900 and that
one-third was paid in cash, we would
! have 81 1893 1888 900 in automobile in

nine months of 1925, excluding all

Analysis Vulnerable.
OF course, it is easy to find a hole
in any such analysis of sufficient size
to cause the entire structure to
tumble. The most common estimate
of the sum involved in automobile in
sta1lment sales annually is $1,000 900,

innate, You can take a pencil and
figure one for yourself; nobody can
give you the exact sum.
Household goods and utensils, and
radio equipment rank next to auto
mobiles in the volume of installment
also.
Alarmists aey credit is being under
mined by extension of installment
selling. Its opponents say it increases
costs and tends to encourage ex
travagance.
Men who approve the system OF
adopting that selling method say ii
stimulates their business, promotes
better living, encourages a family tC
budget its finances, and advances
thrift

GAIN IS ENORMOUS
AIarmists Warn That Huge
"DoIIar-DoWn" Business

By Consolidated Press.

BY C0nsohdated Press
Installment selling has reached
such staggering proportions in the
United States that 1t is rapidly ap
preaching the status of major
method of merchandising.
No accurate figures are available
But estimates range between a con
servative $4,000 100000 and a maxi
mum $4,000. .000O00 as the amount
which will be spent upon the retail
trades on the installment plan IL
1925. Between these extremes rests
the fact.
Few, indeed are the retail lines
which at some point or another dc
not offer an installment plan.
The directors of the National ASso
citation of Credit Men recently stated
that installment credit had reached a
high peak But despite this opin-
ion by men who should know
whereof they speak, the peak Is high
er than even a few weeks ago and
promises to continue it's upward
climb during 1926.
Sees Huge Gain In 1926.
In fact. one authority, who frank,
~ opposes further extension of this
method of merchandising, has proph
esied that installment buying in
1926 will attain the huge proportions
of $4,000, ,000, 900. Impossible? Not
at all, provided the maximum esti
mate of $4,000, 100000 be accepted for
1925. The Federal Reserve Bank OF
Boston a week ago announced that
reports in that district covering in
stallment sales in September showed
an increase Of IS per cent over Sep
tember, 1924.
Several trade associations have un
dertaken active campaigns to check
the forward advance of inStallment
selling. The subject has reached the
controversial stage In some lines OF
business and in some localities, SO
that estimates must be consumed
with caution lest ones lips be burned
Credit houses have existed in some
lines of business for many years and
have filled a place in merchandising
so obviously legitimate there is nc
question raised about it. 1t long has
been recognized in merchandising
practice that certain high price com
modities, of long usefulness, can be
sold in volume only by extension OF
credit over q course of months with
regular payments during that period
