Big Defense Orders
Spur Wooien Goods
Trade in Week
Prices Are Advanced
And Mills Step Up
Production
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 24.-Woolen
goods took the spotlight in textile
markets last week as the Govern
ment moved to cover needs in con-
nection with national defense.
Large purchases of uniform cloths
and prospects of more to come gave
the wool trade its greatest activity
in a long time Prices were boosted.
mills stepped up output and it was
expected the new tempo would con-
tinue for several months at least.
Cotton textiles had period of
relative quiet against the good VOL
ume done in the previous week.
Quotations on ducks and some other
heavy fabrics were raised, and the
general price structure remained
firm despite the reduced demand.
Converters and printers contin-
ued to check quotations, but were
hesitant about placing further orders
until more was known of the Ger
man peace conditions for France.
From the South there was less
talk of mill curtailment, and a few
plants were said to have increased
schedules. The 64x60 5.35 yard print
sold at AZ. cents and the 8Ox80 A.
yard item at 6iz cents.
There was fair demand for sum-
mer rayon wash goods and print
cloths, with prices steady to slightly
higher. Silk fabrics moved slowly.

McGiII Staple Index
Continues to Drop
Special Dispatch to The Star.

AUBURNDALE, Mass, June "a
Despite some strengthening in in
dustrial commodity prices, the index
of all commodities compiled by the
McGill Commodity Service dropped
off to SO for the week ending June
81, as against 69.5 a week earlier
and 1875 at the beginning of the
year.
The higher index number for in
dustrial commodities was offset by
lower prices in the agricultural and
livestock groups. OF the IA COM
modify groups comprising the index
7 were higher, lower and 2 un-
changed from the previous weeks
levels.
Strength in the industrial group
was attributable to higher prices
for fuels. hides and leather, ferrous
metals, paint materials, paper and
pulp and fine textiles. Weakness
in this group was confined to coarse
textiles, non-ferrous metals and
vegetable oils.

Some buying hesitancy appeared

Scrap markets, highly sensitive to
European developments, have lost

j. ). Industrial Boom
Seen Regardless Of
Wars Outcome
Size Of Arms Program
Stoegers Imagination,
Guenthen Declares

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 24.-The less
favorable aspects an armament
boom can develop are minor COM
pared to the effects of the major
economic and industrial expansion
upon which the United States has
embarked and which may outdis-
tance in dimensions the scope Of
our activities in the last World
War. This is the opinion of Louis
Guenther, publisher of The Finan-
cial World, expressed in the forth
coming issue.
Whether war continues in Eu-
rope or is shortly to lead to a forced
peace, the United States is def
nitely committed to an unparalleled
defense program the size of which
staggers the imagination" writes
Mr.. Guenther. Under analysis it
becomes plainly evident that what
ever happens in Europe. the United
States confronts an industrial boom,
the only factors yet to be deter
mined being its extent and dura-
ton and the time needed to get it
working on all cylinders.
"A gigantic defense program. OF
which a nation rich in resources
is capable, has innumerable ramifi-
cations, reaching out and pene-
trating every channel of our ma
tional activity-industry, finance,
mining. textiles, foods, agriculture
and others. When it gets speeded
up, instead of wide unemployment
there will be shortage of many
kinds of labor and the possible nee
essity Of a three-shift, 24-hour
working day. Even now, with this
program only scratching the sur
face. many plants already are op-
Grating at capacity. Additional
plant capacity on large scale must
be provided as fast as it can be
done.
1T will grow into an all-absorb-
Ing boom and diffuse widespread
participation while it lasts, even
If deep in the back of every ana
lytical mind there are forebodings
OF what may happen when the in
