NEW ORLEANS, November s.
The cotton market had a spirited

Wool Prices Steady.

Raw wool is steady, and production
in America still is far below consump
ton. Foreign markets are strong, and
4 marked increase in world wool pro
duction is a matter Of years. The
cutting up of the open ranges has
diminished the speed with which fiocks
can be increased. and big sheep com
panies have started to place sheep on
farms to be raised and clipped on a
share production basis.
However, sharp advances in raw
wool prices are not anticipated by
close students of the staple. Should
such advances make their appeara ME
there is little doubt that they would
aid the introduction of the synthetic
substitute, the cost of which is fairly
stable.
Textile men have found to their sor-
row that there is a price limit beyond
which consumers will not go. and
when that limit is reached they turn
to a substitute. In consequence the
introduction of artificial wool sseems
likely to exercise a steadying rather
than a disastrous effect on wool and
wooden textiles.

Many New Color Effects.

In women's wear. il is estima ed
that 75 per cent of the color effects
in lines introduced this year have
been obtained through the use of
rayon. Some of the big manufacture
ers are already making their own
rayon. The new plant OF the Amos
keag Manufacturing Co, turning out
1000 pounds Of fiber a day, will be in
operation by January l.
One incentive for the use of syn
thetic wool lies in the difficulty OF col
oring wOol-rayon mixtures. Dying OF
wool in some instances requires boil
ing, which, It is claimed, injuries the
rayon.
The introduction of the new com
modify IS not expected to injure the
wool growers. II is pointed out by
textile men that the use of rayon
spurred the consumption of natural
silk tremendously and caused a sharp
increase in raw natural silk prices
1t also has built up the consumption
of cotton. Mill takings have been
heavier since the cotton-rayon mix
lures came into vogue than before.

NEW YORK, November 3.-Neither
wool growers nor woolen manufac-
turers are apprehensive as yet as to
the effect of the entry, just made.
of synthetic wool into American in
dustries. But every buyer and manu-
facturer at the opening sales of the
1926 Spring floor covering season now
in progress watched closely for indi-
cations of the future of this new de-
velopment. Artificial wool, il is
claimed, is especially adaptable for
carpets and rugs.
Synthetic wool is so new a com
modify that it has not even received
its trade name christening as yet.
But a half-doZen American manufa's
turers of synthetic tibers have con-
WINGED themselves it can be made at
reasonable cost and are prepared to
enter its production on a large scale
if the demand warrants 1t is already
being offered to the American trade
by agents of Snia-Niscosa largest
producer of artificial silk in Italy.
Opposed by Textile Makers.
Textile manufacturers have not
taken kindly to the use of synthetic
wool as yet. Its use, they claim,
would lead to changes in machinery
cede that less wool is being used now
than ever before in the manufacture
of cloth for women's wear and lighter
textures are called for even in Win
ter. They remember that they had a
similar feeling toward rayon, now SO
universally adopted. AS a result they
are holding themselves in readiness
to seize on the new commodity with
out delay If demand arises.
The adoption of this new commod-
ity would not come to the wooden
manufacturers as an extreme novelty.
since there has been widespread and
growing tendency, especially in New
England plants. to use rayon in the
worsted dress industry. These wool
rayon mixtures have made possible
some wonderful color effects and have
led TO the increased use of medium
woods. as the coarser wool grades have
been found to blend better with rayon
than with the long staple cross bred
woods.
