LONDON, May S.-The slump In
the wool market is estimated to have
cost the trade several million pounds,
the figures varying from Els, 900, 900

Wool men at Bradford, the center

trade recovers even a reasonable part
of its losses. They assert that most
of the money thus dropped has gone

growers.

The opinion at Bradford is that the
excess of supply is not due TO over
production, but to lnderconsumption
by the principal wool-using countries
of Europe and North America.
The experts differ as to the exact
causes of the slump, some attributing
1t TO the disturbed outlook last fall
