STAPLE FIBRE SHORTAGE
PROBLEM IN JAPAN TOKIO, April 25. Though the production of staple fibre in Japan during March exceeded 400 tons a day (says the Domei News Agency), many wool and cotton spinners find it difficult to obtain supplies.

Manufacturers are disinclined to sell, hoping for a rise, which the Minister, for Commerce, Mr Yoshino, is planning drastically to prevent.
