BIG ORDER FROM JAVA CAMBRICS FROM LANCASHIRE (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) LONDON, Aug. 10 An order for 22,000,000 yards of cambrics has come to Lancashire from Java. The total value of the order is £600,000, and it represents one of the largest si'ngle transactions ever put through by Lancashire firms. It will be carried out by 40 firms of manufacturers and a large number of spinners of medium American yarn. The size of the order exceeds the whole requirements of the United Kingdom in this class of goods for 1938, yet it represents only a small part of Lancashire’s capacity, so it will be handled by 14,500 workers without interfering in the slightest with the Government orders for the fighting forces. All interests concerned in the execution of the order will be registered as the first export syndicate under the Cotton Board set up by the Board of Trade. Negotiations are already in progress for further Java trade with Lancashire—the chief lines being bieached and printed cloths and fancies.
