FROM SILK TO WOOL.
The "Japan Trade Beview" recently reported that part of the Japanese silk spinning machinery is being changed over to wool spinning. Production of silk spinning has .been curtailed. The Japan Spun Silk Yarn Producers' Association has about 425,000 spun silk spindles, of which about 33 per cent, were sealed against use. The Nippon Kiuuori Kaisha has converted about 13.400 spindles to wool spinning. The Dai Nippon, the Toyo, Fuji, and Nitto Spinning Companies wit) use their suspended spindles for the production of woollen yarn. By the cud of 1933 it was expected that 60,000 spun silk spindles' would be applied to wool yarn spinning. Evidently the Japanese woollen textile equipment has not been able to cope with the orders received for goods. Japanese wool purchasing has been generally keen this season in Australia and New Zealand. Purchases have also been made in South Africa, the exports from that country to Jnpan from July to the end of December totalling approximately 6451 balea of greasy wool and a small quautity of scoured.
