MORE PEOPLE, MORE NEED.
It is evident from remarks made by H. Dawson,. Sons, and Co., the well-known woolbrokere), that the retail outlet for woollen goods is still too small. There are,more people than ever before, more dihand for clothes, and yet extremely dull trade conditions in the manufacturing of wholesale sections of the woollen trade. Messrs. Dawson remark: "There are large populations yet who need to be better clothed, and fed, and housed, who would, i£ they: were able to buy, take all that our machinery could produce, should economic conditions become mVe normal. Meanwhile, a freer exchange of commodities, which isi the foundation o£ commerce, and a new confidence in values, which in our article'are low enough. may gradually bring us out of bur difficulties. "If the community and the actual consumer : can' derive its share of the benefit of these lower prices, there will be a chance of-.the necessary consumption being stimulated. This means that costs of manufacturing, and especially the costs of distribution,'should be minimised and qquajised, that all may hare, and that the free ■ flow of demand may increase without let or hindrance. It is only the fuller absorption of these bountiful supplies that can ensure better trade, and more em-| ployment." , .
