One of the largest and most reliable Dry Goods films of London, England, has written is as follows "During the past few weeks there has been an idea of uncertainty and we might say uneasiness on the part of the purchasing public that Prices will begin to recede_; that in a few months goods will be obtain- able at a much lower .level than at present. From direct information which we have received there appears to be no indication of a recession in prioe. In wool the position appears to be most di1fiicult. Stocks of raw wool in England today are very low and even the present curtailed reduction is causing great anxiety,. No substantial improvement is possible before August at the earliest, 'Moreover there is a world shortage of wool goods, It is today impossible to induce the cloth manufacturer to accept new business on any terms, and prices when quoted aro as much as 40 percent, above those asked a year ago. Many of the leading manufacturers predict a still higher price for the winter of next year. Cash orders in the hands of the manufacturers and jobbers in England today for delivery to the neutral European countries are enormous, many of which have been held for as long as nine months for export license. Any quantities of manufactured wool piece goods, that are offered in France, aro being immediately picked up, and instances are related where merchants in the districts just recently vacated by the Germans are requesting travellers to immediately bring forward any wool goods which they have to offer, Take cotton as another example. Stocks of the raw material are so short as to entail restricted em- ployment in the spinning mills,., and weaving sheds, besides this, wages have advanced considerably hi Lan-' cashlre and the future costs must be based upon the curtailed output and the advanced prices of its produc- tion. The silk situation is largely of production high grade silk goods Japanese market at the moment. has cocoon production which we alight increased 300 percent. in some distr vane. The American market is in ply of raw material for additional From these facts pertaining buying now in expectation of as ear dustries of this country and public life; the demand will be, we believe, in the hands of France, Italy and Switzerland and at the present rate from these countries will not be any cheaper for some time to come. The advanced and further advances are anticipated, The increased cost of say has advanced from 150 to 300 percent. as well as wages which have icts has been the cause of thit tightening and further anticipated ad - a very similar position with very decreased stooks and a limited sup - output." to the dry goods trade we find there should he no excuse for putting of/ ly reduction in prices.
