THE FIBRE MARKETS.
A,commercial man in Christchurch, who is interested in and watches closely the movements of the world's fibre markets, informed a Christchurch Press reporter that it was somewhat remarkable that, while the price of wool had dropped by,4d per lb., the decrease in the price of cotton since December last had been only one halfpenny per lb. The adulteration of wool with cotton was not entirely unknown, but it seemed to him quite within the range of possibility that the adulteration of. cotton with wool would lie heard of. The reason for the comparatively slight decline in cotton, lie thought, .was probably the combination existing amongst those controlling cotton interests in America, as compared with the lack of combination amongst, the controllers of the world's wool output.
