THROWN ON THE MARKET
HUGE STOCKS OE WOOLLENS DISPOSAL BOARD’S ACTION. LONDON, December 1. According to the Pall Mali Gazette the Disposal Board has thrown on the market 3,000,000yds of woollen tweeds and serges and 7,000,000yds of linings and trimmings. These materials were hoarded for the demobilisation of former service men, who were given the alternative of a new suit of “civvies” or its cash value. The latter proved the more popular. The textile trade is anxious regarding the effect on employment if these huge stocks are unloaded en masse.
