High-Priced Blankets A striking illustration of the wide margin between the prices ruling in the soft goods trade in London compared with those on the local market is given in a recent issue of the* Drapers’ Record, a trade journal published in London. The journal quotes the case of a drapen who was fined £lO and £ll ss, respeclively, with costs on two charges of selling double-bed white blankets at £8 Bs. the authorised price being £7 15s 6d. The prewar price for the same grade of blankets was £1 16s 9d.. It may be added that the price for the best-quality blankets on the local market is about £4.
