WOOL FOR JAPAN.
NEED FOR 105,000 BALES. MIXING WITH STAPLE FIBRE. fUnited Press Association—-Copyright.l TOKIO, October 22. An Sinter-departmental conference has decided that in future blankets for use by the army and navy, and uniforms for State railway employees, police, and students should be made from mixtures of wool and staple fibre. Regulations are accordingly being promulgated by the Ministry for Commerce and industry, which aims to economise in the-use of wool by-mixing mare than 25 per cent, of staple fibre for blankets and woollen fabrics. Japan needs to purchase 105,000 bales of wool for the remainder of this year. Industrialists recently asked the Government to sanction 150,000 but the request was refused. Some companies have seven or eight months’ supplies, but others have hardly any.
