TRADE WITH JAVA.
EXTENSIVE BRITISH ORDER. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, Aug. 10. An order for 22.000,000 yards of cambrics has come to Lancashire from Java. The total value of the order is £600,000, and it represents one of the largest single transactions ever put through by Lancashire firms. It Will be carried out by 40 firms and manufacturers, and a large number of spinners of medium American yams. The size of the order exceeds the whole requirements of the United Kingdom in this class of goods for 1938, yet it represents only a small part of Lancashire’s capacity, so that it will be handled by 14,500 workers without interfering in the slightest with Government orders for the fighting forces.
