"Wool growers must realise that to fix prices "at too high a level will only encourage increased competition from the manufacturers of artificial silk, and artificial wool made out of cotton," said Mr. Albert Spencer, at the Auckland Provincial Employers' Association today. "In any case it is certain that the competition of artificial silk is now becoming a most important factor. In America, there were thousands of hales of wool less used last year owing to these substitutes, which are steadily growing in importance. At the same time tney will not displace wooL but, used in conjunction with it, they are already leading to a decrease in wool consumption all over the world.** Wonderful salvage bargains from s-s. Kent selling to-morrow (Friday) at Ashley's A-B.C. stores, Karangahape Koad. See the big window to-night and be early to-morrow.—(Ad.)
