WOOL TROUBLES.
Strong Objection to Abuse of
Artificial Terms.
ONLY ONE " WOOL.**
(Received 11 a.m.) LONDON, November 4. Leading Bradford importers say it will takfe years of hard propaganda work to persuade the Dominion wool growers that the market for raw material- of good condition is being undermined by the low prices prevailing. The wool now being received is deteriorating tremendously, and the present low prices offer no encouragement to the grower to exercise additional care.
A wool textile delegation, representing all sections of the industry, has issued a protest against the abuse of the word wool in connection with artificial fibres. It is stated that the term "artificial wool" is a misnomer, as no product deserving of the name of wool exists apart from that grown on the sheep.
Cellulose products do not possess all of wool's unique and valuable properties.
