Wool Records Broken
As Defense Program
Spurs Demand
Foreign Supplies Bor
InfIotionoY Trends
In 1912 Market
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE Gov.
ernment's huge defense program this
year penetrated every phase OF the
apparel wool industry and resulted
in many records for activity in the
textile, the president OF the Wool
Associates of the New York Cotton
Exchange said today In q year-end
review of the trade.
Frank j. Knell, president OF the
Associates, said that In spite Of
the demand for woolen and worsted
goods the price level Of manufac-
tured and unmanufactured wools
developed no inflationary trend at
any time.
Years Imports Large.
He said the Government was be-
lieved to have accounted for be-
tween Is and 80 per cent OF the total
apparel wool consumption.
The lack Of an inflationary price
rise in domestic woods was due pri-
marily," he said, ito the availability
of foreign apparel woods at prices
consistently below the market for
domestics and, because Of this dis
count, imports Of apparel woods into
the United States last year were the
heaviest for any year on record"
A preliminary survey, he said. In
dicated that near the year end there
we're more than $50 000, 900 pounds Of
greasy shorn apparel woods of for
eign origin in this country, some Of
it Australian, and some cape wools.
Clip Sets Record.
"At such times as the present" he
said, IAN ample reserve of raw wool
is an absolute necessity and nature
aided the cause Of democracy by IA
voring western ranges and the sheep
roaming on them to such an extent
that a record clip was shown during
the past year.
Another result Of the unusually
heavy imports and the record clip
was that total apparel wool stocks
in the United States at the end of
the year were not only far above the
year-end carryover of 1910 but were
probably the largest carryover since
! the early 1905.

Furniture Production
AT Highest Levels
In Il Years
BY ]. A. GARY,
Editor, Furniture Age.

With untitled orders double those
Of December, 1910, the furniture in
dustry wound up 1941 with an es-
timated production of approximately
$500, 900 900, or SO per cent more than
last year. This is only $39 600, 900
less than the peak production OF
1929 and $50, 600, 900 more than the
1887 output.
Prospects for 1912 appear bright,
providing manufacturers can obtain
needed furniture hardware, finishing
materials and all the hardwood
lumber they will need and INSTALL
ment terms are not upped by the
Federal Reserve Board.
Retail sales In 1912 did not keep
pace with production gains, because
Of installment restrictions. Dealers
bought more heavily than the public
and, as a result, retail inventories
were 20 per cent larger than last
year and sales gained about the
same percentage.
IllC yCdl dS a WAiOlO, OoeoA
orders booked by manufacturers
were As per cent higher than last
year, shipments were up 40 per cent
and pay rolls So per cent over 1910.
However, the last quarter Of the year
saw a failing off of the boom that
started in January and ran until
fall at the fastest pace in the in
dustrys history.
Furniture prices during 1941 ad-
vanced not more than II per cent
and were still below the 1929 level.
Indications were, however, that an
additional 10 per cent may be neces-
sary during 1912 to meet higher
material and labor costs. The in
dustry is working in close harmony
with o. P. A. and o. P. M. and is
not hampered by defense except on
hardware and certain finishing ma
terials. Upholsterers. however. ex-
pect difficulty in obtaining sufficient
springs during the coming year.

Jagged behind the defense program
Alcoa has reduced its ingot price
four times since the war began. The
price was 20 cents pound Sep
tember /, 1899. The most recent re-
duction, October /, 194l. brought it
to IS cents. This reduction, plus
increased taxes. will Offset to large
degree any increase which might be
expected in the companys earnings
because Of increased sales volume.
