Wool Growers Hold Out
For Higher Prices Now
Bij: Pool Asks Why American Grower Should Sell at Lower
Price Than Wool Is Quoted at on Foreign Market
When Manufacturer Must Bin Abroad Anvwav

NYw York. May 15.?Wool grow
ers in llu? West and some d?*al? rs in
other sections of the country arc
shouting warnings in the cars of th?*
woolen manufacturing companies. So
far these warn in us have had little
effect. The growers declare that
unless the manufacturers watch
carefully, they will be l? ft in a posi
tion where they will not liave enough
law staple to run their mills at any
where near quantity production un
less they buy it at a higher prlc??!
than exists at present.
English manufacturers, they say.'
are already pouring woolen goods ;
Into this country and petting the
American consumers' business at a
time where the New England manu
facturers are lamenting the light de- j
mand for both women's and men's1
goods. Unless American manufac-1
Hirers take steps to meet this com-1
petition successfully they may find'
themselves in a similar predicament I
to the New England cotton manufac-!
turers who declare the "dumping"
of English cottons on this market \
lias forced wholesale curtailments
and threatens the life of their in-1
dustry.
In support of these contentions. J
growers and traders in wool point to
the frantic demand which greeted
the offering of a shipload of English;
woolen blankets by John Wanamak-!
er and a large store in Brooklyn.
These blankets were snapped up like
hot cakes although American manu
facturers have been complaining of
the dullness of the market.
The necessity for stimulation In;
the floor covering is also given full
recognition in the determination of!
the Alexander Smith and Sons Com-:
pany to hold an auction for the dis
posal of $4,000,000 worth of rugs!
which began here today. The variou? '
carpet and rug manufacturers, in-1
eluding the Smith Company had
named current prices May 1 and had,
placed them from five to 12 per cent j
under the previous levels. This,,
however, did not suffice to attract!
orders and the Smith Company de-1
terniincd to hold the auction and let.
the buyers themselves name the
price levels. Orders placed at the
May 1 levels and guaranteed until
September 1 will be filled on the
basis of the auction price range, the
Smith Company has announced.
One of the big carpet manufactur
ers in Connecticut has cut wages 10
to 20 per cent and it is known that
nearly all the large factors in the
trade contemplate heavy advertising
campaigns to stimulate consumer
buying.
However, the week opened today
with somewhat more activity in the,
buying of raw wool on the Western
ranges. It is known that the
American Woolen Company buyers
are in the field and the lead set by
this big company is usually followed.
The fact that the American Woolen
Mills were supplied with ample
quantities of wool bought advantag
eously last year enabled that con
cern to operate near capacity much
of the year and skim the cream of
the goods trade, and that policy Is
not likely to be abandoned this year.
Despite this, however, the big com
pany is proceeding to auction oft
a quantity of worsteds this week.
The chief interest in the West is
centering around disposal of the
Jciicho pool consisting of 830.000
pounds in Utah wool. This collec
tion In a measure sets the pace for
buying in other Western sections. It
Is known that bids of above 41 cents
a pound have been refused by the
pool managers. Somewhat more
than three million pounds of Texas
wools have been disposfd of so far
this spring, and Nevada and Montana
have shown some buying activity,
but the Northwestern and Califor
nia clips have hung fire since buy
ers and sellers are still far apart
in their ideas.
Mill men in the East say the pres
ent level of prices is all the wool
this year Is worth. The growers
counter by citing the fact that Ros
ton prices now are Inflow all foreign
markets and that for ewry pound
American manufacturers buy al
home, they have to buy two abroad.
The output of the world in 1!?2:5 was
2,t?04,!il 1.000 pounds or almost
?*?00.000.000 pounds less than the
average before the war. Last year
the mills in the I'nit^d States alon?*
consumed TS7.R2lt.OO0 pounds of
wool and even if consumption is less
this year, the domestic supply will
not come within 35 per cent of lin
ing it, growers claim.
WHY LI VK IN'FKIUOIt L1FK
(Continued From Page Two)
this one point and for this reason
we find men and women trying to
travel the wrong road, that which
leads to failure and regret. We find
many men working for small sal
aries, who, if they had trusted them
selves more might to-day be indepen
dent men, many merchants who
should go back to the farm; many
preachers who should learn the art
of plowing; and many teachers who
should choose another profession.
A large percentage of the popula-,
tlon of the world is to-day sleeping.
We need to wuke up and show tho j
world that we are made of real stuff.
A sleeper never gets anywhere. It!
takes a wide awake person to steer
the ship of life through the perilous
sea of time. It is quite true that
there are many rocks in the course
and many storms will come your
way, but you have the wheel in
your own hands and whether you
make a successful or unsuccessful
voyage is for you to decide. There
are only two courses. The one pre-1
8ents a picture of a. rough sea, with
many rocks and many storms to en-j
counter, but beyond all this hard-!
ship lies a calm sea where there are (
no storms or rocks to encounter.
The other presents a picture of a
calm sea where sailing seems easy,
but beyond lies a rough sea where
storms come hard and often and
where rocks crouch beneath the
waters, waiting to make shipwreck
of those who come their way. The
current and the wind favor this
course but it takes a real man to
follow the other .
Once in awhile a man wakes up
from the mental sleep that holds
most of us. At first he is laughed at
and ridiculed, as is every great man
when he starts out. It Is at this
point in the game that he must put
forth every effort. For a long time
our fore-fathers were asleep, but
England continued to agitate them
until they Anally awoke and awaking
drew up and signed the Declaration
of Independence. Cromwell awoke
and awaking disturbed the slumber
ing British Royalty and gave Eng
land a real start.
We need to get our minds more
on our possibilities and less on our
limitations. If we could do this there
would bo fewer real difficulties to
overcome In life. It Is certain that
those who think of defeat and talk
of It will come to defeat and failure.
It is faith that leads us on to over
come difficulties ami accomplish
thing* ami to carry on the civilu.ni.in
of the world. It wad faith that
brought Columbus across the Atlua
tic. It was the faith of our fore
failit-rs that changed America from
a dependent colony to a mighty 1U
public. Yesterday we were weak. To.
day we are strong. Just so it is wi?h
the human. We need but have faith
and trust in God to go forward to
success and to the superior iiie.
Tin1 world needs thinker-*. Knur
son said, "Beware when the gr?a?
Cod turns loose a thinker on this
planet." We need men who will i<ut
their thoughts Into practice. Thought
are no good unless revealed and ;? :i?
to work. Kurope Jacks thinkers. If
China hail enough tluckers she w-?;ili:
'?e;:?rae the greatest nation in i:.?
w??rld. If Ann-lira had more r-.il
thinkers we would have a better
country. On every hand the cry :.?r
thinkers is hoard. The demand i<
groat and the supply is limited.
The future Is what we make it.
If we sow good seed in good soil. \\<
wi'l reap good fruit. If we sow ha.5
seed in poor soil, we reap sorry fruit.
A nappy and successful life requires
good se"d in good soil well culti
vati d.
We must remember that 4,tl
future is hut the unwoven threads
upon ihe loom of time. "CnceasliiR
ly does the web move on. for tlv
loom never stops. We must be alert
and with clear vision and with
steady hand endeavor to follow the
Divine pattern, as with the swiftly]
flying shuttle we weave these ran
colored strands into the fabric of
today to become the finished gar
ment of our yesterdays. Whether
beautiful and adding to our Joy. or
marred and increasing .our regret,
will depend upon the weaving of to-1
day. |
Why should we live Inferior lives?
There is no legitimate reason for it
what-so-ever. AVe have only our
selves to blame. If we do not do our.
bit to carry the burden of life and!
civilization along, we not only hurt t
ourselves but others. It is the united i
organized force that wins. If every
one would do his duty and shoulder
his part of the responsibility, wr;
would have quite a different world;
to live in.
There's no use getting diseourged'
with life and saying, "It's no use". I
Always a little way ahead we find
something better
"If you strike a thorn or rose.
Keep a-going.
If it hails or snows,
Keep a-going.
