PATCHWORK COMPANY, Meriden, Conn. 
about 800 million pounds, or a little over 
one-third. 
Both 1922 and 1923 were years of un¬ 
usual activity in the wool manufacturing 
industry. As the rate of manufacture 
continued high for so long a time, moder¬ 
ate accumulation occurred in the hands of 
mills and distributors so that the industry 
passed through a period of depression last 
winter, spring and summer. With mills 
operating at only around 50 per cent of 
capacity and a new clip coming on the 
market during the spring, prices sagged 
for a time. 
The situation has gradually strength¬ 
ened, however. The letdown in manufac¬ 
turing operations allowed the distribution 
of cloth and clothing to overtake the 
supply to some extent and whittle down 
the stocks on manufacturers’ shelves or in 
merchandising channels. Domestic prices 
for wool were considerably below the level 
of foreign prices after counting the tariff, 
so that imports shrank decidedly and 
moderate quahtities of foreign wool held 
in bond, were re-exported. This reduced 
the supply of wool pressing for sale. 
Finally, orders for woolen goods increased 
moderately in the last two months and 
mills began to speed up again. Foreign 
markets also displayed great strength 
under brisk buying by British and Con¬ 
tinental mills. The result has been a re¬ 
sumption of the upward trend in wool 
prices. Boston quotations are now the 
highest they have been since early in 1920 
just before the big break started. 
Domestic Prices Below Foreign 
Domestic prices did not overtake 
foreign wools, however. Since there is 
less wool in this country than will be re¬ 
quired to satisfy the mills until our next 
clip is available, so that substantial im¬ 
ports will be necessary, the question right 
now is, will prices reach a parity that will 
permit imports by an advance here or a 
decline abroad? At the moment, foreign 
markets are showing a little easier tone as 
American buyers are not giving any 
support. Some of the trade observers 
believe that foreign prices will decline to 
our level as the demand for goods is not 
brisk enough to induce mills to bid our 
prices higher. 
This brings us to the international 
situation in wool. The annual clip in the 
principal wool producing countries is 
running about 10 per cent smaller than 
before the war. Meanwhile, the con¬ 
suming population has increased materi¬ 
ally. While there has been some decline 
in European buying power, and perhaps 
in European per capita consumption of 
wool, nevertheless, it seems rather clear 
that world consumption in the last few 
years has been overtaking production. 
World Consumption Outruns Produc¬ 
tion 
The best evidence on this point is the 
fact that huge accumulations of wool at 
the end of the war which helped to depress 
wool prices back in 1920 and 1921, have 
all been distributed. Large stocks were 
held in the southern hemisphere, particu¬ 
larly, because of the fact that submarine 
warfare prevented shipment. The British 
Australian Wool Realization Association, 
formed to liquidate such wools produced 
in Australia and New Zealand, had about 
900 million pounds on hand on August 31, 
1920. This was enough to supply the 
entire world for over a third of a year. 
These have, all been distributed. The 
same is true of the large South American 
holdings. In other words, in the last four 
years, we have been consuming not only 
the wool grown each year but much of 
this accumulated wool in addition. 
Not all of these wools have passed to 
the ultimate consumer, however. Part of 
them are represented in increased mill 
stocks of wools, and part in larger stocks 
of woolen goods in various hands. But, 
after full allowance for such holdings, the 
conclusion remains that wool consumption 
has been overtaking production.
