LIKE WOOL.
NEW COTTON PRODUCT. NEW YORK, October 27. It is claimed that a special process which has been completed at a Bellman Brook mill gives cotton the style, feel, wearing qualities and warmth of wool, and will enable material for dresses and suite to be sold much below the price of the woollen article. A magazine writer reveale that the new method chemically imparts to the cotton fibre a permanent curl resembling wool, and adds a certain lustre to the cloth. The curly fibres form insulators, like the wool fibres. The product shows great resistance to. wear, weighs lees than wool, and is less expensive. Increased activity in the cotton industry is predicted when marketing begins as* there will be an outlet for cotton goods in the autumn and winter, when the trade usually is dull. The process, which has been patented, has been developed in co-operation with a prominent Swiss textile firm.
